[squid-users] proxy net connection selection

(a friend asked me this)

hello guys,

i have a problem with a funky configuration in squid. i would like to
configuring in such a way that if the direct connection to the internet
is down for one proxy it will be redirected to a second proxy.

my current setting for this is:
cache_peer myproxy.original.com.ph parent 3128 0 no-query default
prefer_direct on

i would also like the other way around. the proxy will use the direct
connection by default and will use the other proxy when its connections
fail.

my current setting for this is:
cache_peer myproxy.backup.com.ph parent 3128 0 no-query
prefer_direct off

the two above settings do not seem to work because the first one still
tries to connect via the local connection. the second one does not work
because it still uses the local connection.

thanks.
