Re: [squid-users] Failover with 2 parents

We do something similar and our config is as follows:

cache_peer 10.1.226.93 parent 80 3130 no-digest weight=5 login=PASS
cache_peer 10.1.2.93 parent 80 3130 no-query no-digest weight=1 login=PASS
peer_connect_timeout 5 seconds

This sends the connections normally to 10.1.226.93 which is via a fast
link and if that link is down it fails over to the secondary connection.
Seems to work okay...
