[squid-users] cache_peer configuration

Hello Amos,

Thanks for your reply.

As you suggested i will use ICP or HTCP.

Is it necessary to use round-robin in sibling ?

Based on the porxy1 config, If a client in 172.16.1.0/24 range makes a
request and the requested object is not�found in any of sibling
servers,
In the case the request will be forwarded via parent peer or as a
direct request?

proxy1 configuration:
client range: 172.16.1.0/24 and 10.0.0.0/8

cache_peer proxy2 sibling 3128 3130 proxy-only round-robin
cache_peer proxy3 sibling 3128 3130 proxy-only round-robin
cache_peer proxy4 sibling 3128 3130 proxy-only round-robin
cache_peer proxy5 sibling 3128 3130 proxy-only round-robin

cache_peer example.com �parent 3128 7 no-query no-digest default name=filter

acl peer src 172.16.1.0/24
cache_peer_access filter allow peer

Thanks,
Senthil

No it will not.
You used "no-query" which disables ICP (Internet Cache Protocol)
sharing of information.

I also recommend you experiment with HTCP. Which is a slightly
improved version of ICP.
