Re: [squid-users] Problem with Sibling squids

You might consider enabling Cache Digests (see
http://wiki.squid-cache.org/SquidFaq/CacheDigests).

If squid is compiled with --enable-cache-digests, you can configure
peers to periodically share a hashed summary of cached objects instead
of using ICP to check as requests come in.

Checking the local RAM digests for several peers is (nearly always)
more efficient than sending out ICP requests to the same number of
peers and then waiting for responses from all peers. Drawbacks are
the overhead to build and transfer digests every X minutes, and also
you miss out on hits that would have been successful with ICP,
particularly the extremely efficient UDP_HIT_OBJ type :)
