Squid should use my ISPs Proxy !

[chrizzo]

Hi, i have a small problem here:
I have set up a linux router with a
firewall script and the squid proxy server.
When i configure my Win PCs to connect through the Squid proxy, it works fine, but slow, because the linux router connects directly to the net. But i want the squid proxy to connect thru my ISPs Proxy server, because it is much faster than a direct connection. Is there any way to let this work?

hmm, you know, i never did figure out how squid could be daisy-chained. i do know that Internet Junkbuster (an ad-blocking proxy, which rocks ;o) can be daisy chained like you are talking about. if you want to try that out, i cover it at http://www.fandelem.com/nhf.html

and squid's webpage is www-squid-cache.org - you should go there just to double check (they have an awesome search function)

cache_peer 1.1.1.1 parent 8080 8080 no-query

That is the line in our proxy server that does what you need. Or something similar.

Replace 1.1.1.1 with your isp's proxy address.

kyle is correct.. there is also a post by craig @ the How I Did It thread. and if u want ur squid-proxy to querry first to ur ISP's proxy, then just look at ur squid.conf and look for the line 'cache_peer'(i think thats it)
