I have configured my proxy servers in two regions for backup internet path of each other by declaring the following directives.
Directives on Proxy A:
cache_peer A parent 8080 0 proxy-only
prefer_direct on
nonhierarchical_direct off
cache_peer_access A allow all
Directives on Proxy B:
cache_peer B parent 8080 0 proxy-only
prefer_direct on
nonhierarchical_direct off
cache_peer_access B allow all
Is there a way that whenever a peer cache is used an email alert is generated to the admins.
Not from Squid. That is a job for network availability software.
You could hack up a script to scan squid access.log for the peer
hierarchy codes (DIRECT or FIRST_UP_PARENT etc) being used.
Note that the setting is only "prefer" _direct. It can go to the peer
with perfectly working network access if the origin web server simply
takes too long to reply to a connect attempt.
