RE: [squid-users] Proxy forwarding problem

I have tried many variations of this command written below but to no avail.

When adding any text after the "no-query" (ie acl hq_intranet) and so on I
crash on startup.

If I separate the lines it starts fine but it doesn't do what I want.

If I set the proxy to cache_peer proxy.hq.foow.foo.com parent 8080 3120
proxy-only no-query" I send everything to HQ but still cannot go into the
intranet.

Well, very strange, if I am sending all requests to HQ proxy (if I set my
proxy to HQ I can get into intranet) I still can't get into intranet. So,
there must be something else blocking me. I think I am going to give up,
call the firewall dorks and have them just add my darn proxy into their
rules to let me in. I hate admitting defeat but I think I may have to in
this case.

this is not need, if you only want the local cache to forward requests to
the parent cache.

try this:
cache_peer proxy.gj.blah.blah.com parent 8080 3120 proxy-only no-query
acl hq_intranet url_regex .*\.blah\.com.*
never_direct allow hq_intranet
