4.9 How do I configure Squid forward all requests to another proxy?

Note: The information here is current for version 2.2.

First, you need to give Squid a parent cache. Second, you need to tell Squid it can not connect directly to origin servers. This is done with three configuration file lines:

        cache_peer parentcache.foo.com parent 3128 0 no-query default
        acl all src 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0
        never_direct allow all

Note, with this configuration, if the parent cache fails or becomes unreachable, then every request will result in an error message.

In case you want to be able to use direct connections when all the parents go down you should use a different approach:

        cache_peer parentcache.foo.com parent 3128 0 no-query
        prefer_direct off

The default behaviour of Squid in the absence of positive ICP, HTCP, etc replies is to connect to the origin server instead of using parents. The prefer_direct off directive tells Squid to try parents first.
