Hi all, Slight Problem here..
I have installed and configured squid hoping that it would provide a level of resillience in the event a destination server 'goes down'. Currently I have 2 squid proxies running each configured to recognise the other as a peer sibling. Each of the quid proxies is configured to use the same destination host configured as httpd_accel host port etc The Content being serverd by the destintation server sends a max-age/expires header in its response. The squid servers cache the content correctly and request the content DIRECTly when the Content Expires. My problem is that I would like the Squid proxy to continue to serve content even if the destination server is not available. Is this possible. I have checked the access.log and I can confirm that a TCP_REFRESH_HIT - DIRECT appears normally when the content has expired. but If the destiantion is not available, everything hangs and eventually times out. Thanks
