[squid-users] Load Balance

Hi

I've got 2 uplinks:
1 SDSL 2Mbit
and one ADSL ,8Mbit

i've wnat to load-balance them with squid.
Here's my setup

                   10MBit Hub
     |-Squid1----\ |
     | >--------- SDSL 2 MBit
     |-Squid2----/
     |
     |-Squid3-------------- ADSL 0,8 Mbit
     |
     | - 100Mbit - full switched
     |
   Client

Squid1 is the main-proxy.
Squid2 and Squid3 are parents of Squid1.

I've insereted them with the following lines:
cache_peer squid2 parent 3128 3130 round-robin
cache_peer squid3 parent 3128 3130 round-robin

I've also told Squid1 don't go directly
acl all src 0.0.0.
alway_direct deny all

Sometimes it works.
Squid1 is receiving it's data from Squid2
or Squid3
But very often, Squid1 tell me it can't
reach any parent.
Also on low load.

Any idea why ?
