My organization has two geographical data centers with one in Germany the

in the States but are receiving the following error:

The following error was encountered:
Unable to forward this request at this time.
This request could not be forwarded to the origin server or to any parent
caches. The most likely cause for this error is that:
The cache administrator does not allow this cache to make direct
connections
to origin servers, and
All configured parent caches are currently unreachable.

Any ideas and/or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. If you need
additional information from me please let me know.
It looks to me like the Squid in the states is not allowing access from
the German Squid (either by http_access rules on the US Squid or by fire
walling). Solving this problem would require knowing a bit more about
your network topology (is the US Squid accessible from the general
Internet, or do you have some kind of tunneling/VPN set up between the
offices?), and your US Squid http_access rules (are you allowing access
from the German Squid either by IP address or by password?).
