Re: digest only peering?

So long as you are aware that the siblings wind up downloading your false digest hits on them, and
then giving the objects to you. The owners of the siblings may not like that, or it may result in IP
based access control problems at remote sites. We had to go back to ICP for that reason. (This is on
Squid2.0 patch 2 anyway).
