Using sibling cache ?

Hi all,

I have set up a proxy server connecting an internal LAN1 to a parent
proxy server
and have the following setting in the squid.conf file :

1) http_port 8080
2) cache_mem 40 RAM
3) cache_dir /var/log/squid 7000 16 256
4) prefer_direct off
5) acl localnet src 192.168.1.0/27
6) http_access allow localnet
7) cache_peer upperhostname parent 8080 3130 no-query

It works well when a client in the LAN1 access the internet outside
through this
proxy server.

But when I want the access that go through a sibling proxy server (also
work
well with another LAN2), I add one more setting in the squid.conf file

8) cache_peer LAN2hostname sibling 8080 3130

It can't work by going through the sibling proxy server because the
squid always
go from the parent proxy. It seems that the squid will not choose the
sibling path.

Can anyone tell me how to solve the problem ?

Thanks !
