I have been attempting to setup a squid forward proxy with one frontend and two backends as per configuration example http://wiki.squid-cache.org/ConfigExamples/SmpCarpCluster
My issue is that only the first attempt comes from the cache and then additional requests are downloaded direct by the frontend instead of from the backend caches. I suspect it is due to a detected forwarding loop which shows up in the logs: 2015/10/30 13:07:49.239 kid1| 44,3| peer_select.cc(137) peerSelect: e:=XIWV/0x7f7bfee2e730*2 http://127.0.0.1:40 02/squid-internal-dynamic/netdb 2015/10/30 13:07:49.239 kid1| 20,3| store.cc(466) lock: peerSelect locked key 64AAA11C8DEF57153B10BA2C9D2F3D60 e:=XIWV/0x7f7bfee2e730*3 2015/10/30 13:07:49.240 kid1| 44,3| peer_select.cc(441) peerSelectFoo: GET 127.0.0.1 2015/10/30 13:07:49.240 kid1| 44,3| peer_select.cc(468) peerSelectFoo: peerSelectFoo: direct = DIRECT_YES (forwarding loop detected) 2015/10/30 13:07:49.240 kid1| 44,3| peer_select.cc(477) peerSelectFoo: peerSelectFoo: direct = DIRECT_YES 2015/10/30 13:07:49.240 kid1| 44,2| peer_select.cc(258) peerSelectDnsPaths: Find IP destination for: http://127.0.0.1:4002/squid-internal-dynamic/netdb' via 127.0.0.1 I can force the backend caches to be used successfully with this option "never_direct allow all" however I would like to resolve the underlying issue. I have no iptables configured on this server and have made sure the environment variable http_proxy is not set. Also I have tested this on Squid 3.4.8 and 3.5.10 on Debian.
