My present work-around is that the clients are configured to use the main firewall proxy for such connections. Unfortunately I have 36000 clients and not all of them use Netscape and my automatic proxy configuration... which leads to much confusion.

No, but 1.1 will.

Have you tried to assign wheight to you parents, giving your "larger" parent
a higher priority? And is your non ICP parent responding on UPD ECHO?

Transfered sizes are always logged affter the log tag. This request sent 62
bytes to the client. Probaby a IMS Request for a object not in the cache.
