I desired the following behavior: Client request --> TCP_MISS from c1 ---> forward to c2 --> TCP_MISS from c2 ---> c2 forwards to direct === c1 caches response | | | -> TCP_HIT from c2 === c1 caches response -> TCP_HIT from c1 === desirable behaviour I hope the above is readable in the post :) And understandable... currently the parent is configured with: cache_peer proxy.arcor-ip.net parent 8080 3130 no-query As proposed by Henrik I have prefer_direct off nonhierarchical_direct on Thanks for your help, Philipp
