Hi,
I am trying to setup a hierarchy of proxy servers (using squid 2.7
stable) where one child is connected to two parents. The child
forwards requests to the parents in a round robin fashion. Now this
setup seems to be working for http requests, but doesnt work for
https
requests. I see CONNECT requests going from child to the destination
for https requests instead of to parents. What am I missing? Heres my
settings for the child.
cache_peer abc.com parent 3128 3130 no-query round-robin
cache_peer pqr.com parent 3128 3130 no-query round-robin
Let me know if i should post some more relevant information. Thanks!

CONNECT is a request to open a tunnel. Squid try service any request
they can as quickly as possible, rather that relaying the requests
through another hop which *will* add more lag. This DIRECT behaviour is
sort of like a HIT for CONNECT requests - the same goes for ftp:// and
gopher:// traffic.
You can make Squid ignore these special types of requests and
(possibly) pass them to peers using this directive:
