Hi All, I applied the configuration given below to get my siblings working , but unfortunately it did not.Now when I start the squid on sproxy1.example.com, I can see the following information in cache.log 2005/07/19 16:35:59| DNS Socket created at 0.0.0.0, port 32779, FD 6 2005/07/19 16:35:59| Adding nameserver x.x.x.x from /etc/resolv.conf 2005/07/19 16:35:59| Adding nameserver x.x.x.x from /etc/resolv.conf 2005/07/19 16:35:59| helperOpenServers: Starting 20 'squirm' processes 2005/07/19 16:36:02| Accepting HTTP connections at 0.0.0.0, port 8080, FD 7. 2005/07/19 16:36:02| Accepting ICP messages at 0.0.0.0, port 3130, FD 40. 2005/07/19 16:36:02| WCCP Disabled. 2005/07/19 16:36:02| Configuring Sibling sproxy2.example.com/8080/3130 2005/07/19 16:36:02| Configuring Sibling sproxy3.example.com/8080/3130 2005/07/19 16:36:02| Loaded Icons. 2005/07/19 16:36:02| Ready to serve requests. But when I run tcpdump src port 3130 on sproxy1 I can't see any communication between sproxy1 and sproxy2 or sproxy1 and sproxy3.However I can see the ICP communication between sproxy1 and a downstream proxy. And cache manager for sproxy1 says Peer Digests: no guess stats for all peers available Per-peer statistics: peer digest from sproxy2.example.com no guess stats for sproxy2.example.com available event timestamp secs from now secs from init initialized 1121754959 -623 +0 needed 0 +0 +0 requested 0 +0 +0 received 0 +0 +0 next_check 0 +0 +0 peer digest state: needed: no, usable: no, requested: no last retry delay: 0 secs last request response time: 0 secs last request result: (none) peer digest traffic: requests sent: 0, volume: 0 KB replies recv: 0, volume: 0 KB peer digest structure: no in-memory copy peer digest from sproxy3.example.com no guess stats for sproxy3.example.com available event timestamp secs from now secs from init initialized 1121754959 -623 +0 needed 0 +0 +0 requested 0 +0 +0 received 0 +0 +0 next_check 0 +0 +0 peer digest state: needed: no, usable: no, requested: no last retry delay: 0 secs last request response time: 0 secs last request result: (none) peer digest traffic: requests sent: 0, volume: 0 KB replies recv: 0, volume: 0 KB peer digest structure: no in-memory copy Algorithm usage: Cache Digest: 0 ( -1%) Icp: 0 ( -1%) Total: 0 ( -1%) Local Digest: store digest: size: 7384615 bytes entries: count: 1705642 capacity: 11815384 util: 14% deletion attempts: 0 bits: per entry: 5 on: 6442800 capacity: 59076920 util: 11% bit-seq: count: 11478902 avg.len: 5.15 added: 1705642 rejected: 4186495 ( 71.05 %) del-ed: 0 collisions: on add: 0.00 % on rej: 0.00 % Can anyone please help which bit I am missing? or is there there any additional configuration(presumbly not) to get sibling cache peering working. Just to remind the objective is to configure either of three proxies as a sibling to each other so that thay can share each other's cache and either of these should be able to go to Internet in cacse if an object is not in any of cache.(As these proxies are at same level).
