Re: [squid-users] Connection to webmail sites problem using more than one parent proxy

We have this problem when the proxy establishes the connection using all the proxy serves. If we use only a proxy server as parent the session is not missed. This the localproxy configuration for the cache peers: cache_peer parentproxy1.mydomain.it parent 3128 3130 cache_peer parentproxy2.mydomain.it parent 3128 3130 cache_peer parentproxy3.mydomain.it parent 3128 3130 we use squid 2.5 stable7 version for Windows. The parent proxies use squid 2.5 stable7 for windows as well and go out directly to Internet. How can we override this problem? Thank you in advance guys! Sergio Ps. We also contacted the Tiscali customer care, but they didn't give us any useful information! Their systems are broken with the way they use HTTP. IP-based sessions are decreasing rapidly in reliability and security, and will continue to do so in future. For your own workaround, you can setup ACL for them in your lower level squid [proxy] so it only uses a certain parent proxy for certain sites.

We also contacted the Tiscali customer care, but they didn't give us any useful information! Forgot to mention in my earlier reply. If you upgrade to current squid the srchash peering algorithm is available to ensure that all requests from a given client IP go through a certain parent. This is hash balanced across all the active parents and handles parents proxies going up/down without breaking client access.
