configuration under cache_host line???

Hi all,

I am trying to figure out how the different options under the cache+AF8-host
line affect the
squid. Specifically, I am interested in the round-robin/default,
parent/sibling,
and query/no-query options.

After reading the RFCs and the FAQ I built a table that attempts to
illustrate my
understanding of how the different combinations affect squid (I assume all
peers have the
same cache+AF8-host line). The first 3 column show the config. option used in
the cache host
line and the last column shows the action taken when squid receives a HIT,
all misses, or
a time-out.

I would greatly appreciate any comments/corrections/clarifications.

Thank you.
