Hi Again, I have now got it all successfully working. I found a thread on the Squid mailing list that outlined a similar situation which I have found works for my configuration.
FYI The following settings need to be added to the squid.conf file of the child proxy: # OPTIONS WHICH AFFECT THE NEIGHBOR SELECTION ALGORITHM cache_peer <ip_address_of_parent> parent 8080 3130 default no-query # ACCESS CONTROLS acl users src 10.20.10.0/255.255.255.0 cache_peer_access <ip_address_of_parent> allow users never_direct allow users http_access allow users The ACL for 'users' should be modified to use the IP range of your network etc.. This config is at it's simplest form and extra steps could be undertaken to tighten up the security of Squid, but that is out of the scope of this message. For more info check out the Squid docs etc.. All the requests now go from my non-SquidGuard child cache to my parent SquidGuard cache where SquidGuard qualifies the URL against my lists. Hope this helps people in the future.

They doin;t have any issues, apart from all requests coming from their proxy server which gives them hell when we bill them ;) Perhaps I could help more if you outlined the problems your having.
