Because both common and complex configuration is generally easier to model with two directives than one tri-state directive. Plus that tri-state directives was very hard to add to squid.conf parser at the time these directives were added. The three states of these two directives are always direct automatic (default) never direct The intended use of the directives is that you set one to override the automatic mode in the direction you need. If both is set for the same request then always_direct have priority which simplifies the most common cases. Regards Henrik
