Hi Henrik,

In CARP setup, if one uses same weightage for all the parent caches
how would the requests be handled ? will the requests be equally
forwarded to all the parent caches ? if the weightages differ then
won't all the requests be forwarded to a particular parent cache only
which has the highest weightage ?

Also if I do not use the "proxy-only" option in the squid which
forwards the requests to parent caches, won't less number of requests
be forwarded to parent caches since it will be already cached by squid
in front of the parent caches?

Thanks in advance.
