RE: [squid-users] Re: cache_peer problem

Hi All,

I have read the FAQ's and tried different cache_peer
options to stop DNS lookups on the child proxy but no
luck.

I tried

cache_peer 172.26.x.x parent 3128 0 no-query
proxy-only
acl all src 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0
never_direct allow all

Still the child proxy is doing DNS looks before it
sends the client's request to parent proxy.

Thanks.
