Hi Amos! Thank you for your replying. I have changed squid version ( now is running the 2.7 stable5) and I have modified the parents peers in that way: parentproxy1.mydomain.it parent 3128 3130 sourcehash parentproxy2.mydomain.it parent 3128 3130 sourcehash parentproxy3.mydomain.it parent 3128 3130 sourcehash But I still have the same problem. I tried also in this way, but it didn't work as well : parentproxy1.mydomain.it parent 3128 3130 roundrobin sourcehash parentproxy2.mydomain.it parent 3128 3130 roundrobin sourcehash parentproxy3.mydomain.it parent 3128 3130 roundrobin sourcehash I'm wondering whether the configuration is correct, or not. Do you have some better tips about how to configuring it? Hope to have nice news from you! Thanks a lot for help!

If you upgrade to current squid the srchash peering algorithm is available to ensure that all requests from a given client IP go through a certain parent. This is hash balanced across all the active parents and handles parents proxies going up/down without breaking client access.
