Hello Vinayan,

If you are behind a firewall then you can't make direct connections to
the outside world, so you *must* use a parent cache. Squid doesn't use
ICP queries for a request if it's behind a firewall or if there is only
one parent.

You can use the /never_direct/ access list in /squid.conf/ to specify
which requests must be forwarded to your parent cache outside the
firewall, and the /always_direct/ access list to specify which requests
must not be forwarded. For example, if Squid must connect directly to
all servers that end with /mydomain.com/, but must use the parent for
all others, you would write:

acl INSIDE dstdomain .mydomain.com
always_direct allow INSIDE
never_direct allow all
