[squid-users] ICP and sibling peers in reverse proxies?

Dear all,

If we conceder the following deployment diagram:

         INTERNET
            |
     +--------------+
     |Load Balancer |
     +--------------+
        | |
 +-------+ +-------+
 |Squid_1| |Squid_2|
 +-------+ +-------+
      | |
+--------+ +--------+
|Apache_1| |Apache_2|
+--------+ +--------+

There the squid servers are configured as reverse proxies in front of
the apache backend (original/parent) servers.

The apache servers are identical. That means that the same HTTP/Get
request performed on either of them will always produce the same
response. As a result the all responses will be cached twice. Once on
squid_1 and again on squid_2.

Is it possible to avoid the redundancy explained above with the help of
the ICP protocol and configuring both squid servers as sibling peers?

Any ideas will be appreciated!

Best regards,
 Christian
