I was wondering if I can set up another small cache server that uses a parent (say one of ircache) and then set it to be a sibiling for my main cache server. This helps me to do whatever modification I need in future without messing a lot with the main cache server. Any particular advise?
Your assumtion is right. Any http request goes through my cache server running squid which I control. The ISP is using HTTP interception. The problem is that I am not sure exactly which sites the ISP filters, so I wonder if I can send the filtered http request to a proxy, and the way I squid undrestand that a page is filtered is using my ISP output (what squid receives for a http request). The ISP generates exactly the same message for any filtered page.
You may be able to acheive something along these lines by configuring Squid to use a non-ICP parent (no-query no-cache-digests no-netdb-exchanges cache_peer options) and "prefer_direct on".
It is not 100% perfect, but will work most of the time.
