Re: [squid-users] parent cache information

Thanks a lot for your help once again. If I add proxy-only option on
the peer_cache line Server B wont cache anything right? Because Server
A is facing the internet and it will cache everything. Lets say I
access the website google.com, Server A will cache google.com. Since
Server A has google.com in the cache Server B wont cache that web
site. Then why should I enable cache_dir on Server B. I am a bit
confused here about how the caching works. Please reply.

Recompiling Squid at some time in the future (using the latest source) would likely be advisable. Stable12 has been out for a while, and is the only "officially" supported version at this time.
