Different things

I have tried and tried to make Squid do what I want it to, but for some reason,
it won't, so I figure I'll post.

The first option I am trying to get is:

minimum_direct_hops

The nlanr parent caches that I'm using are 9 and 15 hops away, so it makes
sense that anything which is less than 9 hops away, I should fetch myself. So,
what I did was enable ICMP via removing the # from -DUSE_ICMP in the Makefile,
then I changed:

query_icmp

to on.

I made sure the pinger program was in /usr/local/squid/bin as well.

Now, when squid starts, it says that the pinger program was started (actually,
ICMP socket opened). The pinger program is running and everything.

However, for some reason, I don't see ICMP requests going out. Everything seems
to be pulled from my parent caches.

I'm using Squid 1.1.16, which also seems to have a little problem seg faulting
when I kill it with SIGTERM, so I guess there are some bugs. I'm using Linux
2.0.29.

Does anyone have this working?
