Hello,
We have made some progress. We actually have two squids in parallel with
DNS load balancing.
We had been running them as each others parents so that we could try to reduce
the load on the backend server. If we stop cache_peering, then the timeouts
go away. The relevant lines
for server1 are
cache_peer server2.domain parent 3128 3130
acl SERVER src server1.domain server2.domain
cache_peer_access server2.domain allow !SERVER
We configure the two as parents rather than as siblings, because, for an
expired file, squid won't
bother querying a sibling. So, at this point, we have a choice between
collapsed_forwarding or
the cache_peer relationship. Is there some better configuration setup we can
try?
Thanks very much.
Barry
