Re: [squid-users] parent cache

I added the below text to the child:

nonhierarchical_direct off
prefer_direct off
cache_peer parent.server.ip parent 3128 0 default no-query

And I added the child to an acl on the parent that does not allow
downloading of .exe's but when I tried to downoad them I was able to.
Since I added the child to an acl on the parent that does not allow
download of exe's I do not see why I can download exe's.

I thought since the child was added on the parent to an acl that did not
allow downloads of exe's I would not be able to download them.

To recap:

From child squid server given workstation IP can download anything
Put child squid server IP into an acl on the parent server that can not
downoad .exe's
From given workstion IP I can download .exe's but why?

You need to make A allow B as a client if it is not already in the list of
allowed clients, and to configure B to use A as it's parent.

No other configuration on A is required.

Depends on what you want. The first always uses the parent, the second
prefers to use the parent if available and it makes sense for the request
in terms of caching, if not it will go direct.
