Hello all,
I figured the easiest way to describe what I am trying to do is to...
draw it. First of all pardon my ignorance since I am relatively new to
squid. Any help will be much appreciated.
The Problem:
Dec 9 17:42:35 cache2 squid[27234]: WARNING: Forwarding loop detected
for: Client: <cache1_IP> http_port: <cache2_IP>:3128 GET
internal://site1.domain.com/squid-internal-dynamic/netdb HTTP/1.0 Via:
1.0 site1.domain.com:80 (squid) X-Forwarded-For: unknown Host:
<cache2_IP>:3128 Cache-Control: max-age=259200 Connection:
keep-alive
Reverse proxy Setup:
O F5 load balanced vhost

| site2.domain.com
| site3.domain.com etc.)

cache1 O---------------O cache2

O---------------O--------------O
web1 web2 web3
site1 site3 site4
site2 site5
Desired path:
1. Request for site1
2. F5 load balances request to cache1
3. cache1 checks own cache
4. if NO-HIT check cache2
5. else go directly to web1
Server:
64bit SLES 11
Configuration file (what I have done so far):
SNIP
cache_peer <web1_IP> parent 80 0 no-query originserver name=web1
cache_peer <cache2_IP> parent 3128 3130 proxy-only default
Cache2_IP should be a sibling...
cache_peer <cache2_IP> sibling 3128 3130 proxy-only
...not a parent, and should not be set as the default. As it stands
now, cache1 is using it's sibling to get to the content (it's the
default parent, after all) and cache2 is using cache1 to pass the
request from cache1 to the content, which passes the request to
cache2... Whoops. Forwarding loop detected.
acl sites_web1 dstdomain site1.domain.com site2.domain.com
http_access allow sites_web1
cache_peer_access web1 allow sites_web1
cache_peer_access web1 deny all

This is unlikely going to give Squid enough time to write out it's
logs. While the description indicates this directive might only affect
clients, open descriptors are also used for logs and cache objects.

Any comments on the configuration would be much appreciated. Thank you
in advance.
