Sorry the config file is a bit of a legacy of 5 people who been touching the config in the past years. So...I've did what you said: -removed "always_direct allow all" -cahnged "via off" -> "via on" -changed " icp_access deny all" -> " icp_access allow all" I have a result as an empty white page in my browser, and nothing in the access.log Still no UDP_*_ or any sign of the servers talking to the other, but worst because I dont even see myself accessing to any site anymore. Might be something still missing?

It will improve your hit rates a lot. The new refresh_pattern below replaces them. hierarchy_stoplist is still needed up to squid 3.1. After that it can go too. > acl apache rep_header Server ^Apache > > cache_peer ######THE_IP_OF_THE_SIBLING###### sibling 3128 3130 > #prefer_direct off > > cache_mem 1024 MB > maximum_object_size 4096 KB > minimum_object_size 0 KB > > cache_dir ufs /var/spool/squid3 75000 32 256 > > error_directory /usr/share/squid3/errors/English > > logformat squid %ts.%03tu %6tr %>a %Ss/%03Hs %<st %rm %ru %un %Sh/%<A %mt > access_log /var/log/squid3/access.log squid > cache_store_log none > logfile_rotate 1 > > debug_options ALL,1 > cache_log syslog > > ftp_user ftp@ > > hosts_file /etc/hosts > > refresh_pattern ^ftp: 1440 20% 10080 > refresh_pattern ^gopher: 1440 0% 1440 refresh+pattern -i (/cgi-bin/|\?) 0 0% 0 > refresh_pattern . 0 20% 4320 > > httpd_suppress_version_string on > > acl manager proto cache_object > acl localhost src 127.0.0.1/255.255.255.255 acl localhost src 127.0.0.1 > acl to_localhost dst 127.0.0.0/8 acl to_localhost dst 127.0.0.0/8 0.0.0.0/32 > acl SSL_ports port 443 # https > acl Safe_ports port 21 # ftp > acl Safe_ports port 80 # http > acl Safe_ports port 880 # http > acl Safe_ports port 443 # https > acl Safe_ports port 1025-65535 > acl purge method PURGE > acl CONNECT method CONNECT > > http_access allow manager localhost > http_access deny manager > http_access allow purge localhost > http_access deny purge > http_access deny !Safe_ports > http_access deny CONNECT !SSL_ports > http_access deny to_localhost > > acl desktop-clients src 0.0.0.0/0 acl desktop-clients src all ... that is not good either way.

"always_direct" FORCES the proxy to ignore its sibling, not to even bother trying a lookup there. Remove this and you will start to see requests between them.
