Thanks a lot for your help once again. If I add proxy-only option on the peer_cache line Server B wont cache anything right? Because Server A is facing the internet and it will cache everything. Lets say I access the website google.com, Server A will cache google.com. Since Server A has google.com in the cache Server B wont cache that web site. Then why should I enable cache_dir on Server B. I am a bit confused here about how the caching works. Please reply.
