[squid-users] Need help on squid configuration with remote icap server

Hi,

I'm a new to squid and ICAP and requesting for help. I'm trying to
setup a URL filtering feature provided by c-icap server. I'm having
trouble configuring my Squid Server to communicate with the ICAP
server setup on a remote machine. If I have ICAP server on same
machine as Squid server(127.0.0.1), there is no issue in communication
between squid and ICAP server. URL blocking also occurs successfully

Following is the setup:
I have setup Squid on 192.168.10.8 and ICAP server on 192.168.10.9, on
192.168.10.8 in squid.conf file I have provided "icap_service
service_req reqmod_precache routing=on bypass=1 icap://<icap server
ip>:1344/url_check_module".

When I try to open any URL on the machine where squid is setup I get
following error in squid log "optional ICAP service is down after an
options fetch failure: icap://192.168.10.9:1344/url_check_module
[down,!opt]" (I have setup my iptables to route all the http traffic
to squid port 3128)

I have attached my squid config file setting below

Any help here is much appreciated
Thanks
Anil
