Well, if they want, they can install two, I don't mind ;-)

The setup that I was handed over was without the ICP. Most probably it
was finetuned, because the CPU-s are running at 101%
For me ICPs only use is that it allows the clients to load-balance based
on response time from the servers. (all queries to all servers?) All the
external traffic must pass through the squid-s anyway.

Now I am starting to think, that if the queried parent squid will ask
with ICP from other parents/siblings anyway, then what is the real
difference...
