Ok yay So We just installed a brand new squid cache on the network segment above ours! yay! but I need to know how to properly configure my local squid box to use it, I would like it to fetch cache from the parent proxy obviously, and I also would like it to still have internet and serve cache from its own cache if the parent proxy ever goes down, Im going to try with the below example right now to see how it goes. Thanks for any input I can get on this from you pros, its very much appreciated. cache_peer 192.168.1.205 parent 3128 0 no-query prefer_direct off any issues with this that I should be aware of? I do NOT want my local squid doing "always direct" when the parent squid is down, I want it to serve cache as well.
