Thanks, that got it - Re: Attaching Squid to 'parent' server blocks local access

Kendall,
I owe you a bottle of red.

I jigged the always_direct thing for my domains, as you suggested, and now
everything seems to be humming. Well, till tomorrow anyway :-)

Put in an acl line, and told it always_direct for them, and up it comes.

Thanks for your help, and thanks to all the other good folk too.

cheers
Robert
