Well, maybe I was not that clear in my explanation (my english fault! :
P) I was speaking about the same squid behind the layer 7 switch! I
mean, those two squid behind the layer 7 switch must conect on one side
with the layer 7 switch, using the Virtual IP address, and on the other
side with other two parent squid with their real IP address...or
something like this! That's why I was asking if I should modify
udp_incoming_address and udp_outgoing_address!
But I have another doubt too: those two directives (udp_incoming_address
and udp_outgoing_address) change the ip address that squid uses to make
ICP queries, what happens after squid has queried using ICP, I mean,
what address does it use to retrieve the content it needs from the
parent_squid? Does it use the virtual IP address or the real one?

Thanks you very much for you patience Henrik!
