Hi, We are having problems setting up a cache_peer scenario. What we currently have is a cache unit that is upstreaming all requests to a cache peer parent. For redundancy purposes we have added another cache peer parent with the default option set. Now the problem we are having is that all requests go to the peer parent with the default option set, even though according to the manual default will be the last resort. If I then turn off the parent with default set, the other parent never kicks in and we only get timeouts at the lowest level. Preferred parent Default parent 10.10.3.1 10.10.3.3 |___________________________| | 10.10.0.1 The error at 10.10.0.1: 2005/12/06 13:07:48| TCP connection to 10.10.3.3/3128 failed Here are the respective parts from squid.conf on the 10.10.0.1 unit. always_direct deny all never_direct allow all cache_peer 10.10.3.1 parent 3128 0 login=PASS cache_peer 10.10.3.3 parent 3128 0 default login=PASS To sum up, all requests on 10.10.0.1 are going to 10.10.3.3 even though it is set to default. If we kill 10.10.3.3 it still doesn't go to 10.10.3.1 because 10.10.3.3 is set as the default. It never even detects it as a dead parent. Any ideas? Thanks in advance Ian
