Well, instead of checking peer requests, wouldn't it be more sensible for
the peer itself i.e. the Nepean cache, to use a cache_host_acl to determine
siblings that it knows don't have access to certain objects, so don't use
them. This tag only exists in 1.1 if you are still using 1.0.

Is this the behaviour you're after?
