Normally Squid tries to use parents for most requests. If you for some reason like it to first try going direct and only use a parent if going direct fails set this to on. By combining nonhierarchical_direct off and prefer_direct on you can set up Squid to use a parent as a backup path if going direct fails. Note: If you want Squid to use parents for all requests see the never_direct directive. prefer_direct only modifies how Squid acts on cacheable requests. |
