Re: [squid-users] backup proxy config

Squid's peer selection are somewhat limited in it's current form, and some
coding is required to make it run decent in such situation.

Some support is provided by having a non-ICP default peer, and "prefer_direct
on", but in such configuration the peer will not always be viewed as a viable
choice, and performance may be quite slow unless routing clearly indicates
Squid cannot go direct.
