Hi guys, i have a simple configuration that i'm testing with 2 parent proxys for a specific domain, if parent proxy 192.168.1.1 fails, failover to 192.168.1.2 proxy. I have a couple of questions: 1)Having configured "connect-timeout=3" and "connect-fail-limit=2", failover takes about 2 minutes, how can I reduce failover time? 2)If I enable cache_peer_access statements, failover never happens because the peers dont get detected as dead #CONFIGURATION START #hostname visible_hostname testing #parent proxy's cache_peer 192.168.1.1 parent 3128 0 no-query no-digest connect-timeout=3 connect-fail-limit=2 cache_peer 192.168.1.2 parent 3128 0 no-query no-digest connect-timeout=3 connect-fail-limit=2 #send traffic to peers acl foo_url url_regex site\.domain\.com never_direct allow foo_url #peer access cache_peer_access 192.168.1.1 deny !foo_url cache_peer_access 192.168.1.2 deny !foo_url #allow all for testing purposes http_access allow all # Squid normally listens to port 3128 http_port 3128 # Leave coredumps in the first cache dir coredump_dir /var/spool/squid # Add any of your own refresh_pattern entries above these. refresh_pattern ^ftp: 1440 20% 10080 refresh_pattern ^gopher: 1440 0% 1440 refresh_pattern -i (/cgi-bin/|\?) 0 0% 0 refresh_pattern . 0 20% 4320 #CONFIGURATION END LOGS that I see when peer is detected as dead 2017/11/20 22:55:02| Ready to serve requests. 2017/11/20 22:55:03| storeLateRelease: released 0 objects 2017/11/20 22:56:55| TCP connection to 192.168.1.1/3128 failed 2017/11/20 22:56:55| TCP connection to 192.168.1.1/3128 failed 2017/11/20 22:56:55| Detected DEAD Parent: 192.168.1.1 _______________________________________________ squid-users mailing list squid-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.squid-cache.org/listinfo/squid-users
