Frankly I really don't know if htcp is better then ICP while 
configuring 
   

 HTCP provides better security and better cache hit predictions
 versus ICP. However, HTCP messages are larger and more complicated.
 So they impose slightly more network overhead.
 

sibling, all we want to achieve "sibling" and yes 
"proxy-only" would be 
the best coz all of the caches servers are on the same network/switch.

I thinks there is some sorta lack of communication probably 
from my side 
coz I'm not native ya ;)

So what you suggest may I use ICP or HTCP protocol while configuring 
cache_peer , sibling relationship b/w the cache servers.

   

 You need ICP or HTCP to use siblings in a fashionable manner.
 I.e. the ability for the cache 'client' to ask the sibling
 whether it has the object or not.
 Probably ICP will has a slighty more chance for 'false hits'.

Thank you Elsen Marc for your time and patience. Now HTCP vs ICP kinda 
clear to me
