[squid-users] Cache Peer Setup Mutual Parents

Dear All,
 
Is it possible to use squid as backup path if going direct fails? i am using squid 2.7 stable 9 with cache_digest enabled. Follwoing are the directives i think will do it please check them if they are correct?
 
Setting of cache at North Region:
 
           cache_peer SOUTH parent 8080 0 no-query proxy-only default
           prefer_direct on
           nonhierarchical_direct off
           cache_peer_access SOUTH allow onlybrowsing
 
Setting of Cache at South Region:
           
           cache_peer NORTH parent 8080 0 no-query proxy-only default
           prefer_direct on
           nonhierarchical_direct off
           cache_peer_access NORTH allow onlybrowsing
 
 
I dont think that for my purpose ICP queries or cache Digest will serve any purpose because they only matter with sibling type relation? is it so
 
 
is this a practical setup or could pose any problems can u please add any recommendations.?
 
 
 
Thanking you &
 
Best Regards,
 
Bilal
