Re: [squid-users] squid parents setup

i would approach this by configuring the 'cache_peer' parameters like this

cache_peer proxy1 parent 3128 3130 no-query round-robin weight=100
cache_peer proxy2 parent 3128 3130 no-query round-robin weight=100
cache_peer proxy3 parent 3128 3130 no-query weight=20

or maybe this will work

cache_peer proxy1 parent 3128 3130 no-query round-robin default
cache_peer proxy2 parent 3128 3130 no-query round-robin default
cache_peer proxy3 parent 3128 3130 no-query

but... perhaps anyone got better ideas...? would be interesting

Best regards

Hi Team:

I plan to setup the ff proxy parents:

proxy1
proxy2
proxy3

Proxy1 and proxy2 are given top priority and will round robin (sort of)
request from siblings. While proxy1 and proxy2 are up (or at least one of
them), siblings should NOT query proxy3. Siblings will only query proxy3 if
proxy1 and proxy2 are down. The reason for this is that proxy3 has a very
slow link and it should only be used as a last option. I am thinking in a
way similar to the way the DNS MX priority works.

Is this possible? Hints, pls, for a newbie.

Thanks in advance,
