[squid-users] Parent and sibling proxies

Good day all

I have two proxies on site: first one balancing http between two DSL lines,
other on leased line.

To channel all HTTP traffic through my DSL lines I've set up the first box
(10.1.1.4) as parent and second one (10.1.1.1) as sibling proxy.

Problem is as follows:

I need to log all http traffic/browsing per user, but with 10.1.1.4 and
10.1.1.1 communicating with each other I end up getting requests from my
parent (10.1.1.4) in my sibling's (10.1.1.1) access.log. I guess the reason
for the parent (10.1.1.4) getting into the sibling's (10.1.1.1) logs is
because the parent are also checking to see if the sibling has an object
already cached. Am I right?

Bottomline, if so, are there any way to make the parent NOT query the
sibling's cache?

Thanx beforehand
