Hi All! I have seen this kind of problem in the list before but I could find a solution! Hope I get some help. Our departmental server (192.168.0.3 running Redhat 8.0) runs squid (squid-2.4.STABLE7-4) to provide Internet access to the local lan (192.168.0.0) with the parent cache as the university server (10.10.127.2). Everything fine except when accessing Yahoo mail or similer websites for example searching a word on squid-archive. The system returns timeout when I try to send a mail. However, if I connect my local box directly to the university parent proxy (10.10.127.2) bypassing the local proxy (192.168.0.3), I get no error. How to solve this problem as I want users to enfore using our local proxy. This morning I have configured the local squid configuration and added the lines cache_peer 10.10.127.2 parent 3128 3130 no-query default acl all src 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0 never_direct allow all which means that I am directing every request to the parent proxy. This seems to be working! I don't know what I have gained by doing this! Is the local proxy not caching anything? Is the efficiency being compromized? Any help is appreciated.
