in my experience with squid, i set parent with no options and there's no DNS lookup for every request into it, all DNS lookup handled by parent. I suggest you to not using options (no-query and no-digest) just leave it blank. if you set options parent to proxy-only then the content delivered from parent cache would not be cached locally. regards, Pudjo@indonesia --- Solaris2005 <rajeshbreddy2@xxxxxxxxx> menulis: > Hi All, > > I have 2 proxies where the parent is open to the > internet behind the Firewall and another proxy > which > cannot go direct to the internet.
