how do you route squid through third party proxy ?

Capt'n Midnight

If the upstream proxy (eg: firewall / web filter) is not ICP aware how do you tell squid to use that's proxy port for internet access instead of trying to go directly to the internet ?

do you just leave out the ICP port ?

[php]#cache_host hostname type http-port icp-port
cache_host firewall parent 8080 [/php]

In the version I have (2.5.9-10 from Debian stable), I have:

cache_peer proxy1.example.org parent 8080 0 no-query no-digest round-robin
cache_peer proxy2.example.org parent 8080 0 no-query no-digest round-robin

The documentation says:

use 'no-query' to NOT send ICP queries to this neighbor.
use 'no-digest' to NOT request cache digests from this neighbor.

Works for me! The round-robin bit makes it share the load between the two parent proxies - I presume if you've only one you can take that bit out.

Thaks for the pointer - seems ok now

for the record
Non-ICP/HTCP neighbours must be specified as 'parent'
never_direct is another option I'm looking at too.
