Hello,
I have this question:
If you have squid, that is working as intercept proxy for customers,
has
parent cache_peer (non-squid), who is not talking ICP or HTCP
procols, and
is only dealing with part of the content.
How this parent cache_peer will communicate to the main SQUID about
if the
request is MISS or HIT, as I want the main squid to apply packet
mark for
the HIT traffic.
Or the marking should be done on the cache peer level?
It is best done at the node which has all the information. Things are
not really as simple as HIT/MISS.
You will also need TOS pass-thru features enabled in the kernel to
propigate the TOS from the squid-upstream packets to the client(s)-squid
packets. Although in you could also map the upstream TOS to a netfilter
MARK value and pass it through Squid then map it to TOS value on the
other connection(s).
