Hi, I am running Squid in web accelleration mode on several servers. They are set up to share cache data using ICP: cache_peer cache1.xxx.no sibling 80 3130 cache_peer cache2.xxx.no sibling 80 3130 cache_peer cache3.xxx.no sibling 80 3130 cache_peer cache4.xxx.no sibling 80 3130 cache_peer cache5.xxx.no sibling 80 3130 cache_peer cache6.xxx.no sibling 80 3130 cache_peer cache7.xxx.no sibling 80 3130 cache_peer cache8.xxx.no sibling 80 3130 Then I have a couple of origin servers: cache_peer foo.finn.no parent 80 0 no-query originserver cache_peer bar.finn.no parent 80 0 no-query originserver If I take one cache server out of service, then when I put it in service later on, it seems it will prefer to get missing data from the origin servers. How do I change that to preferring neighbour caches (siblings) over origin servers (parent(s))? Also during normal operation, if there is one new object, I prefer if as few as possible cache servers has to get it from the origin server(s). Can I use "nonhierarchical_direct off" to achieve this? What about hierarchy_stoplist? I wish to treat all URLs equally. PS: I am getting UDP_HIT in my access logs, so I assume the cache servers can get data from each other using ICP. Cheers, -- Anders.
