Hi
I'm trying to configure Squid (3.1.9) to connect directly, if the one
and only cache_peer (parent) fails:
cache_peer xx.xx.xx.xx parent 8080 0 no-query
no-digest default connect-fail-limit=5
prefer_direct off
never_direct allow all
But squid will never connect directly, even if the parent isn't
available. How can I implement this?
WTF? (sorry but you will kick yourself in a second)
You have set a directive called "never_direct" to always be
true/on/working and are having trouble because Squid never connects
directly.
So, you need to drop that never_direct entry.
Also drop any hierarchy_stoplist entries.
Also take a look at nonhierarchical_direct, it operates on requests like
CONNECT which are best handled directly. Setting it to ON will make the
peer handle those as well when its available.
