[lug] Squid config

[Subba Rao]

I am trying to configure Squid to work on my system for web caching.
I followed the document QUICKSTART that came with the source. My domainname
is a private domain name. When I try to start squid I get the following
error message:

------------------------------------------------------
(0)root at myhost:~ => /usr/local/squid/bin/squid -z
2000/02/15 07:42:09| parse_peer: token='[proxy-only]'
FATAL: Bungled squid.conf line 216: cache_peer myhost.mydomain.com parent    3128  3130  [proxy-only]
Squid Cache (Version 2.3.STABLE1): Terminated abnormally.
CPU Usage: 0.000 seconds = 0.000 user + 0.000 sys
Maximum Resident Size: 0 KB
Page faults with physical i/o: 302
------------------------------------------------------

The cache_peer values have the following settings.

cache_peer myhost.mydomain.com     parent    3128  3130  [proxy-only]
cache_peer myhost1.mydomain.com     sibling   3128  3130  [proxy-only]
cache_peer myhost2.mydomain.com   sibling   3128  3130  [proxy-only]
cache_peer myhost3.mydomain.com      sibling   3128  3130  [proxy-only]
cache_peer myhost4.mydomain.com   sibling   3128  3130  [proxy-only]

I don't know if this is the right setting for cache_peer.
Any input from squid admins appreciated.

Thank you.
