Squid and RM proxies

[HodgeHi]

Hello all,

Does anyone know if Squid can use a RM Proxy as a parent proxy. If so what would one put in the squid config file to get it to work,

i.e. ours is adslcache.rmplc.co.uk on port 8080
so i have entered:

cache_host above parent 8080 3130 no-query default but when i run a test on the squid it fails?

thanks in advance for any help.

cache_peer adslcache.rmplc.co.uk parent 8080 0 no-query default

Thank you very much.

I will check this out tomorrow.

OK i entered this into the squid.conf file and clients able to access the internet by going direct to a site, but when clicking on any links the pages time out.

Why does this happen?

I have looked at the config files but cannot see what would be blocking these.
any ideas?

A good starting point is to

tail -f /var/log/squid/logs/access.log

(or wherever your squid log is -also see the cache.log)
and see what errors appear whan you click the links

Sounds like DNS, have you configured the RM dns servers on the squid box?
