[squid-users] MultipleInstance squid

Hi list,

I have squid Version 2.7.STABLE9 and I tried to setup a multi instance squid
system as proposed at http://wiki.squid-cache.org/MultipleInstances

I used the "http_port" setting to create two (2) independent squid instances
running at the same ip address but on different ports : Squid no 1
listening at port 81 and Squid no 2 listening at port 82 and icp ports at
3131 & 3132 respectively

Also I configure the "cache_peer" setting so as to have sibling between the
2 squid instances :
cache_peer ip sibling 82 3132 no-netdb-exchange no-delay no-digest
proxy-only , at the no 1 squid and
cache_peer ip sibling 81 3131 no-netdb-exchange no-delay no-digest
proxy-only , at the no 2 squid.

This is where my problems are occurring.
When the first request arrives at squid no 1 - of course
TCP_MISS:FIRST_UP_PARENT - I can see from the access log : GET
http://FQDN:81/resourcepath
I was expecting when I request the same resource and squid no 2 reply to me,
I sould get a cache hit but instead I got a TCP_MISS: FIRST_UP_PARENT and of
course from the access log : GET http://FQDN:82/resourcepath

Subsequent requests to either http://FQDN:81/resourcepath or
http://FQDN:82/resourcepath are HITS

I am running two (2) different proxies - one with the prefix ":81" and the
other with the prefix ":82" - without any sibling hit. Looks like I have 2
isolated squids which is not what I want.

Why is this happening? Is this happening because of the existence of the
port at the URL? Can I configure squid to ignore it

Thanks
GnZ
