[squid-users] Forwarding loops

Hi all,
  We use trend micro's internet web security suite for virus and content
filtering.

Squid is setup to forward any request to the IWSS then IWSS makes squid
do the final
Request, so squid - IWSS - squid. We require to be like this so
accounting and error
Pages are handled correctly.

This all works very nicely but has a side effect of forwarding loop
errors in cache.log.

So the cache log becomes my largest log. I have a feeling that if I
want to remove this
Side effect I will need to run another instance of squid. Is there
another way?
