I will try to ask, but since it is a very large provider and I didn´t
find any information regarding that topic with google I don´t have much
hope.

I have one local cache running on my router to the internet (c1) and my
ISP has one cache running (as I said most probably without ICP or HTCP)
(c2).
I desired the following behavior:
Client request --> TCP_MISS from c1 ---> forward to c2
    --> TCP_MISS from c2 ---> c2 forwards to direct === c1
caches response
                        |
                                        |
                        |
                                         -> TCP_HIT from c2
=== c1 caches response
                        -> TCP_HIT from c1 === desirable behaviour

I hope the above is readable in the post :) And understandable...
currently the parent is configured with:
cache_peer proxy.arcor-ip.net parent 8080 3130 no-query
As proposed by Henrik I have

prefer_direct off
nonhierarchical_direct on

Thanks for your help,
