Then cache 1 needs to http_access allow cache 2, and optionally if you
want cache 1 to strincly enforce that cache 2 is not allowed to try to
configure caceh 1 as parent then also miss_access deny. But in normal
peering configurations there is no reason to use miss_access unless the
two proxies are under different administrative control and the
administrators of cache 1 does not trust the administrators of cache 2 to
behave.

This is cache_peer sibling relation using ICP or cache-digests.
