I have successfully setup running of multiple instances of squid for the sake of surviving a Cache directory failure. However I still have few confusions regarding peering multiple instances of squid. Please guide me in this respect. In my setup i percept that my second instance is doing caching on behalf of requests send to Instance 1? Am i correct. what protocol to select for peers in this scenario? what is the recommendation? (carp, digest, or icp/htcp) If syntax of my cache_peer directive is correct or local loop back address should not be used this way? what is the recommended protocol for peering squids with each other? what is the recommended protocl for peering squid with ISA Server.
