RE: [squid-users] Not using parent proxy

Worked like a charm, added a never_direct all and it worked.

I was assuming that if a parent was specified it would use it first then
use direct if the parent was unreachable.

Parents are by default only used if Squid sees any use of using the
parents.. For situations where you are behind a firewall and MUST use
the parents see "Squid FAQ 4.8 How do I configure Squid to work behind a
firewall?".
