Re: [squid-users] Help peering httpd accelerators

It seems that it does work sometimes... as I did see in the access logs a
few:

SIBLING_HIT

But most of the time, it is: TIMEOUT_DIRECT

I tried putting the mcast ttl to 4 instead of 1, but that did not help.

Should I be missing with other timeouts? all the squids are in the same
LAN!!

Thanks a lot.
