[squid-users] problem using squid as proxy server to load balance reverse-proxies

Hi,

I am trying to setup squid as a ssl proxy to load balance btwn
reverse-proxies. I believe the config is right but what is happening
is that squid gets the CONNECT request and connects to the reverse
servers on the right port but forwards the CONNECT request instead of
connecting to them as the originserver. I am pasting the config as it
is right now. I am using localhost as test reverse proxies just for
testing. It Also doesn't seem to be failing to the next peer when the
first one it selects either returns an error(http error code or
connection failure) and I have retry_on_error.

Thanks for your help!
