[squid-users] Persistent connect to cache_peer parent question

Hi,

I have a question with regards to persistent connections to a cache peer
parent. I have
multiple users connecting through a custom compiled Squid.2.6.STABLE17
(also tried
3.0.STABLE7) on a RedHat EL 4 box in front of a commercial web filter
appliance. In my
squid.conf file, I have the cache_peer as:

cache_peer <IP> parent 8084 0 login=*:mxlogic no-query no-digest proxy-only

What seems to happen is that a persistent connection is made to the
appliance. This in
and of itself isn't a problem except that all of the different users
show up as the first user
that made the initial connection. This really jacks up the statistics
within the appliance.

I can get around this with:

server_persistent_connections off

but that is not as efficient as the persistent connection.

Is there any way to get one persistent connection per user to the
cache_peer parent?
