[squid-users] Sibling Cache Woes

Hello squid-users,

  I am ripping my hair out trying to figure out why a pair of caches
  will not pair as siblings. The are over an active wireless link.

  Config from cache 1

  #allow the IP of the proxy servers
  acl starnet_peers src 192.168.0.7/32
  http_access allow starnet_peers
  icp_access allow all
  cache_peer 192.168.0.7 sibling 8080 3130 proxy-only
  #block loops
  cache_peer_access 192.168.0.7 deny starnet_peers
  never_direct allow all
  prefer_direct off
  
  Config from cache 2

  #allow the IP of the proxy servers
  acl starnet_peers src 192.168.5.6/32
  http_access allow starnet_peers
  icp_access allow all
  cache_peer 192.168.5.6 sibling 3128 3130 proxy-only
  #block loops
  cache_peer_access 192.168.5.6 deny starnet_peers
  never_direct allow all
  prefer_direct off
  
  From the log of Cache 1
  2003/09/01 01:46:40| Accepting HTTP connections at 0.0.0.0, port 3128, FD 10.
  2003/09/01 01:46:40| Accepting ICP messages at 0.0.0.0, port 3130, FD 11.
  2003/09/01 01:46:40| Outgoing ICP messages on port 3130, FD 12.
  2003/09/01 01:46:40| WCCP Disabled.
  2003/09/01 01:46:40| Configuring Sibling 192.168.0.7/8080/3130

And something similar in the log of Cache 2.

However, both proxies go direct regardless of that config, and it
telling me that the siblings are configured. From what I can see, no
ICP requests are being sent either.

Any ideas?

Cheers
