Basically here is my setup: I have a cache located on an oil rig down south and one in the home office. There is a dns in the home office that I don't have access to on the rig, and there is one on the rig. There are webservers in both locations (management and control stuff) that I need access to. What I'd like to do is be able to forward requests to the parent without having to resolve them locally. if i do a dns_nameserver 127.0.0.1 I won't be able to split the requests between both sites (i.e. !somewebserver.local won't be resolved locally and will fail) ideas ?
Use never_direct (http://www.squid-cache.org/Doc/config/never_direct/) in association with a dstdomain ACL. Any matching domains should not attempt resolution, but will send the request to the appropriate peer (as defined by your cache_peer_access rules).
