Re: [squid-users] Sibling peers not talking to each other

This has been extremely helpful. I'm using Squid 3.0. Thanks so much
for taking the time to answer my questions. I've taken your advice on
pretty much everything and it seems a lot better. The round-robin for
the parents is definitely working well, though I'm still unsure about
the sibling peers.

1 .Sibling Servers:
Now when I request an image that is not available on one of the squid
servers I get:
619 24.166.71.47 TCP_MISS/200 197662 GET http://dev.static.com/
test.jpg - TIMEOUT_FIRST_UP_PARENT/dev image/jpeg

It still loads the image fine, but I'm not sure what
TIMEOUT_FIRST_UP_PARENT means, though it doesn't sound good.

2. Blocking non-image files
I wasn't really clear in my initial message. I would like to block
serving of any content that is not css, js, jpg, png, gif, and txt
from the Squid servers. When I say block I mean that it should not
query the parent for anything but these defined document types and
instead return a 404 error (even if this content is valid on the
origin server).

3. Force Domain / Cache Peer Domain:
As for forcedomain / cache peer domain I don't see how I can delete
this. Here's how the servers are currently set up:

We have three main domains (All served on the same load balanced
apache servers);
www.webserver.com
test.webserver.com
dev.webserver.com

And corresponding static file domains for the images (All domains are
served by the same Squid servers):
www.staticserver.com
test.staticserver.com
dev.staticserver.com

The web domains are load balanced between three Apache servers.
The static domains are load balanced between three Squid servers

When someone requests an image from dev.staticserver.com it must query
one of the web servers using dev.webserver.com which is why I thought
I had to use cache_peer_domain and forcedomain. Is this incorrect?

4. New (and improved) Configuration:

Just for reference:
Squid 1: 10.155.0.90
Squid 2: 10.155.0.91
Squid 3: 10.155.0.92
Web 1: 10.155.0.101
Web 2: 10.155.0.102
Web 3: 10.155.0.103
