Hallo,
yesterday, after sending my problem to the list, I got some hints, but
unfortunately all of them didn't work. :-(
Here's the problem:
- We've only one parent (cache_host foo.com 80 3130), no additional neighbors.
- Our parent doesn't allow ftp-requests.
- We'd like to setup squid to:
        - forward http|gopher requests to our parent
        - but sending ftp-requests DIRECLY to the destination address. 
Here are some of the answers I got:
>I think this would do it:
>
>hierarchy_stoplist ^ftp://
>hierarchy_stoplist ftp://
(and certain variations)
>ftp_stop .
and:
>Have a look at the 'cache_host_acl' tag in squid.conf.

>cache_host_acl	foo.com		!ftpacl
Yes, this one I have already tried:
acl ftpaccess	proto	ftp
cache_host_acl	foo.com		!ftpaccess
After a SIGHUP to squid, I get the following message when I try
to start a FTP session:

squid.conf:
inside_firewall bla.com foo.com etc. (our local virtual hosts).
I'm sure, I did more than "double-checking". What else should I try
to get this setup running ?
Sorry for the long posting!!!
Best regards,
Thomas
