Re: [squid-users] smart caching...

hi again,
got the following errors while i tried configure with the said lines..

15:11:09| squid.conf, line 1475: No cache_peer 'squid2'
15:12:48| squid.conf, line 1475: No cache_peer 'allow'

the above errors occured while i changed squid2--with--allow &
vice-versa, as in the conf file below..

cache_peer cache.foo.org sibling 3128 3130 login=.................
cache_peer squid2 parent 3128 0 no-query connect-timeout=2
acl squid2_cache dst_as xx.yy.0.0/16 <<<--even tried dst insted of dst_as
cache_peer_access allow squid2 squid2_cache

*****squid2 is as numeric ip address*****

i also saw that squid2 being **parent** all the querries are passed to
squid2.. but my main objective is to pass only xx.yy.0.0/16 to squid2..
  i commented the line but it didnt help either..

in the conf file its written with an eg as ...
     # Except for access control, AS numbers can be used for
     # routing of requests to specific caches.
AS numbers here means **Autonomous system** numbers ?? .. as used in BGP
?? .. if so we dont have AS numbers..
so what can v do to make it happen.. ?
