Notice how the difference in configurations is that you added standby=50. It should not be having any effect that we know of, but does mean that connections are pre-opened to the sibling and thus have a much lower latency than any normal TCP connection. If your Squid is searching for fastest-route using the netdb latency tables that could be the opposite of what you need. > I tried to force a new version through both proxies by using wget with > no-cache option. But that didn't help. Sending "no-cache" from the client makes it worse, since that prevents HIT from happening on either peer. When combined with "cache_peer ... proxy-only" configuration it prevents any traffic that goes through a peer from being cached. > > So what went wrong, how can I flush out the stale 504. It is not cached.

What you have appears to be almost correct. Since you are dealing with 3.1 vs 3.5, you need to keep in mind the differences in behaviour between HTTP/1.0 (3.1) and HTTP/1.1 (3.5). One of the side effects is that the default peer query messaging is ICP which does not work at all well with HTTP/1.1 Vary caching. HTCP was designed to avoid those problems, but needs turning on explcicitly. > > > But I would like to take benefit of each others cache, whats the best > setup for cache_peer in this setup. > > Neither server is closer to the internet. > I suggest you: 1) add the "htcp" option to the cache_peer lines. So the peer selection can use the full HTTP/1.1 headers to decide if the peer cached object is actually usable. 2) Remove the "via off" from your config file. 3) remove the standby= parameter from cache_peer until you have at least got the original setup working. There might be other things involved, but we cant know that without the details about those things existence or absence from your config.
