You need to make A allow B as a client if it is not already in the list of
allowed clients, and to configure B to use A as it's parent.

No other configuration on A is required.

Depends on what you want. The first always uses the parent, the second
prefers to use the parent if available and it makes sense for the request
in terms of caching, if not it will go direct.
