guys ,
        i have setup 2 squids boxes, one is the parent and the other is
the child.
both are located in separate locations and are kilometers away
... they are both connected via leased line.

here's the diagram:

internet<------parent squid <-------- child squid
                  | |
                  | |
            parent squid's child squid's
                LAN LAN

the child squid is configured with:

acl LOCAL dst 202.58.117.160/255.255.255.248
acl LOCALNAME dstdomain .universityofcebu.net
no_cache deny LOCAL
no_cache deny LOCALNAME
cache_peer proxy.cebu.pilnet.com parent 8888 0 no-query
prefer_direct off

but if a user surfs to www.universityofcebu.net from the child's squid LAN
using the child squid proxy , the child squid still forwards the request
to the parent squid , then the parent squid do a MISS to request for
www.universityofcebu.net ... it's kinda irritating coz the child squid
will still forward to the parent squid and thereby using the precious
bandwidth between the parent and the child squid ...

how do i tell the child squid not to forward local domain requests to the
parent squid ? both LANs ( parent and child LANs) are configured for
transparent proxying

TIA
mike
