Hi there.. I have a seemingly simple requirement that I can't get working in Squid (2.7 on Windows), and that is to be able to use a a Squid setup as a proxy server (with aggressive caching) behind another closed-off corporate proxy server (not squid necessarily) for all Internet HTTP access going out. So basically, I have the following config in squid.conf; cache_peer parent <IP or hostname of my proxy server> 8080 0 no-query default acl all src 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0 http_access allow all never_direct allow all (I used to have the recommended and more secure "http_access" parameters but reverted to the above for testing but it made no difference) I am always getting errors like this; 2010/01/13 15:20:24| Failed to select source for 'http://www.google.com.au/' 2010/01/13 15:20:24| always_direct = 0 2010/01/13 15:20:24| never_direct = 1 2010/01/13 15:20:24| timedout = 0 Its to be noted that in my corporate environment I have to go through this external proxy to get internet access and I can't even ping servers from my local machine and probably have limited DNS access too. So really my Squid server needs to forward all details as-is to the external proxy but it does not work. I have also tried experimenting with the following command line arguments when starting squid " -DY -d 4 -X " but to no avail? Am I crazy here? Should this not be a simple setup? Any ideas why this could be? Anyone has a working Squid config for something like this that they could share? Thanks a lot in advance for your help.. Cheers, Daniel
