RE: proxy chain

Hi.

Really all you need to know to get started is the port that the parent /
sibling proxy listens on.

Once that is done you can configure things such as Cache Digests and ICP
communication between the proxies. The FAQ has all the info.

Matthew,

Thanks for the repy. What do I need to know from my remote/regional proxy?
Do I have to know the http_port number and icp_port of the regional proxy
and
place this on my squid.conf file? Do I act as the sibling cache since I'm
the one pointing mine to the regional proxy? Any other else I need to
consider?

Pardon me for this newbie queries. But with your help guys I'm learning.
