The relation between your Squid and the parent is not transparent interception, and using cache_peer to specify the login to use in this relation is perfectly fine. It's only in the relation your Squid <-> the client where proxy authentication can not be used (including pass-thru using login=PASS in the cache_peer line..) Regards Henrik
