Ok im running squid 3.16 on debian, and I have my proxy configured for a parent cache thats upstream, well, What I have discovered is that my local squid NEVER serves cache when its configured for parent cache, only advantage im getting is from the upstream squid which serves cache fine, so, my point is, its pretty much pointless to have a squid cache down here configured for a parent cache, when the parent cache is the only one serving up cache. Sort of makes the whole deal pointless. Might as well just illiminate my local cache and configure my firewall rules to just use the upstream cache. Anything im missing here?
It should be the opposite way around. The cache nearest the client serves the most HITs.
Remove "proxy-only" if you have that on your cache_peer line. Other than that traffic headers should tell more of a story about it.
