Hello again, I watched cache.log and found these info: 2009/06/26 14:04:36| TCP connection to 192.168.1.101/80 failed 2009/06/26 14:05:07| TCP connection to 192.168.1.101/80 failed 2009/06/26 14:05:18| TCP connection to 192.168.1.101/80 failed 2009/06/26 14:05:48| TCP connection to 192.168.1.101/80 failed 2009/06/26 14:05:48| TCP connection to 192.168.1.101/80 failed 2009/06/26 14:05:49| TCP connection to 192.168.1.101/80 failed 2009/06/26 14:06:52| TCP connection to 192.168.1.101/80 failed 2009/06/26 14:07:42| TCP connection to 192.168.1.101/80 failed 2009/06/26 14:07:43| TCP connection to 192.168.1.101/80 failed 2009/06/26 14:07:43| TCP connection to 192.168.1.101/80 failed 2009/06/26 14:07:43| Detected DEAD Parent: portsw_1_2 After long time (it's about 3 minutes), Squid found that peer was dead. So my question is, by what way squid will find a peer is dead or alive? Why it takes so long time? Thanks again. Regards.
Dear Gurus, I have configured squid-3.0.stable15 with these rules for an accelerator: cache_peer 192.168.1.100 parent 80 0 no-query front-end-https=auto originserver name=portsw_1_1 round-robin cache_peer 192.168.1.101 parent 80 0 no-query front-end-https=auto originserver name=portsw_1_2 round-robin acl port_1 myport 80 cache_peer_access portsw_1_1 allow port_1 cache_peer_access portsw_1_2 allow port_1 All run fine when both backend servers are fine. But, when I shutdown one of the backend servers (for example,shutdown 192.168.1.101), I then accessed to Squid, got an error page and can't open the website correctly. The cache.log said: 2009/06/26 12:50:02| TCP connection to 192.168.1.101/80 failed Why Squid doesn't failover between the two backend servers? When 1.101 is down, squid should choose 1.100 as original server, and should not show an error page to users. Please help, thank you a lot in advance. Regards.
