I use Squid 3.1.19. I have four squid boxes. All of them got direct Internet Access. To share the diskcache of each Proxy, I configure them as siblings to each other. On Squid A: cache_peer B sibling 8080 3130 proxy-only cache_peer C sibling 8080 3130 proxy-only cache_peer D sibling 8080 3130 proxy-only and of course I configure a cache_peer_access rule to prevent a request loop. For cache access I use icp. After I configure the cache_peer I got the error messages with timeout_direct to random destinations. -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Amos Jeffries [mailto:squid3@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] Gesendet: Montag, 13.
