Re: Objects purged

One of my setup is this.

                  parent
cache1 ----- cache2 (non icp)

Everything was OK but when I added another cache server cache3 and define
cache1 as sibling I got forwarding loop error and after that the cache size
shrunk. ?

I have,
                      parent
192.168.1.1 192.168.1.2
cache1 ---------- cache2 (non icp)
  |
  | sibling
  | parent
cache3 ---------- cache2 (non icp)
192.168.1.3 192.168.1.4

Note that cache1 and cache3 have cache2 as parent. Now when I configure
this in cache3 which sets sibling relationship with cache1 because that has
a bigger harddisk, I get forwarding loop whereas I dont see any loop here ?

On cache3

cache_peer cache1 sibling 3128 3130
