[squid-users] parent proxy

Hello,

Because downloads from itu.int are very slow using one proxy server, but ok
if using another proxy server (I'm still investigating why), I have the following
setup (proxy1, 10.10.10.5, 2.5.STABLE14):

cache_peer 10.10.10.6 parent 3128 3130
cache_peer_domain 10.10.10.6 .itu.int

I.e. access to *.itu.int should go via another proxy server proxy2 (10.10.10.6, 2.5.STABLE5).

I go to http://www.itu.int/md/R00-CR-CIR-0261/en using proxy1.

Log on proxy1:
1158610617.927 4611 127.0.0.1 TCP_MISS/200 17779 GET http://www.itu.int/md/R00-CR-CIR-0261/en - FIRST_PARENT_MISS/10.10.10.6 text/html

Log on proxy2:
1158610614.296 0 10.10.10.5 UDP_MISS/000 61 ICP_QUERY http://www.itu.int/md/R00-CR-CIR-0261/en - NONE/- -
1158610618.905 4608 10.10.10.5 TCP_MISS/200 17702 GET http://www.itu.int/md/R00-CR-CIR-0261/en - DIRECT/156.106.192.163 text/html

Then I press on any doc or pdf link on that page. The download is very slow,
and it stops after about 10 minutes, download is incomplete and nothing in squid
logs on both servers. It seems download does not go via proxy2. Why?

If I download the same doc or pdf file using proxy2, it is downloaded ok and the log is:

1158611275.248 418 127.0.0.1 TCP_MISS/200 17697 GET http://www.itu.int/md/R00-CR-CIR-0261/en - DIRECT/156.106.192.163 text/html
