Hello, I'm running two frontends instances on ports 3128 and 3129, and two backend instances on ports 4001 and 4002 on the same box, and loadbalancing between parents using carp. cache_peer localhost parent 4001 0 carp name=backend-1 cache_peer localhost parent 4002 0 carp name=backend-2 squid -v Squid Cache: Version 3.1.15 configure options: '--enable-async-io' '--enable-linux-netfilter' '--enable-storeio=ufs,aufs' '--exec-prefix=/usr' '--bindir=/usr/sbin' '--libexecdir=/usr/lib/squid' '--enable-carp' '--enable-cache-digests' '--enable-removal-policies=lru,heap' --with-squid=/opt/squid-3.1.15 --enable-ltdl-convenience After successfully starting all instances I see on the frontends cache.log: 2011/10/07 16:10:56| TCP connection to localhost/4001 failed 2011/10/07 16:10:56| TCP connection to localhost/4002 failed 2011/10/07 16:10:57| TCP connection to localhost/4001 failed 2011/10/07 16:10:57| TCP connection to localhost/4002 failed 2011/10/07 16:10:57| Detected DEAD Parent: backend-2 2011/10/07 16:10:58| TCP connection to localhost/4001 failed 2011/10/07 16:10:58| Detected DEAD Parent: backend-1 2011/10/07 16:11:19| temporary disabling (Service Unavailable) digest from localhost 2011/10/07 16:20:16| TCP connection to localhost/4002 failed 2011/10/07 16:25:20| temporary disabling (Service Unavailable) digest from localhost Because only backends are caching, not connecting to then all traffic from frontends is forwarded to the origin servers, making the storages useless. Any suggestion will be appreciated! Br Artemis
