Re: Parents of Parent Proxies

A bit confusing but I think I got it. :)

Each cache effectively look s after itself. That is, if a cache accepts
your ICP and http requests then you do not have to worry about how it
services your requests.

In other words, if you have a parent cache then you need not worry if it
fetches from the net direct or goes via another parent cache. This process
is invisbile to your cache. So if you are running the lower level cache
then you did not need to worry about the upper level cache configurations.
That is not your problem.

Unless of course you are runnning all of the caches in the heirarcy. Then
you are responsbile for all caches, but a cache serving a page to a child
cache need not worry if that child cache is in turn the parent of another
cache.

So no you do not need to configure your Paren't parent. :-)

I hope that helps.
