It was not working when I used cache_peer 172.16.101.3 parent 3128 3130 default Using 0 place of 3130 solved the problem. So, ICP port was not working. However, could somebody please explain this. It does not work when the line is, cache_peer 172.16.101.3 parent 3128 3130 default So, I change it to cache_peer 172.16.101.3 parent 3128 0 default It works. But is keeps working, even after reload or restart, when the line is changed back to cache_peer 172.16.101.3 parent 3128 3130 default I am trying to find out the reason behind this without much success.
