Hello, I've testet with Squid 3.3.8 and here it is working as expected... Thanks Amos! squid.conf: http_port 3128 http_access allow all never_direct allow all cache_peer 10.0.0.101 parent 3128 0 name=TEST1 cache_peer 10.0.0.102 parent 3128 0 name=TEST2 HTTPS Traffic is sent to first parent (10.0.0.101): 1413546716.565 299 10.0.0.50 TCP_MISS/200 434 CONNECT 10.99.99.99:443 - FIRSTUP_PARENT/10.0.0.101 - When first parent fails, the HTTPS traffic is sent to second parent (10.0.0.102): 1413547033.502 216 10.0.0.50 TCP_MISS/200 434 CONNECT 10.99.99.99:443 - ANY_OLD_PARENT/10.0.0.102 - But I still got a question left: Why is there no message in the logfile? Something like "DEAD Parent detected" or "connection to 10.0.0.10:3128 failed"? When I test with HTTP traffic, it works fine, I will see this message as soon as first parent dies: 2014/10/17 14:12:07 kid1| TCP connection to 10.0.0.101/3128 failed 2014/10/17 14:12:07 kid1| Detected DEAD Parent: TEST1 Regards, Daniel _______________________________________________ squid-users mailing list squid-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.squid-cache.org/listinfo/squid-users
