prefer_direct
| prefer_direct |
This directive affects Squid's neighbor selection algorithm for hierarchical requests (cachable responses). It is only relevant if you have one or more neighbor caches. When Squid builds a list of next-hop locations for cache misses, it puts neighbor caches before the origin server by default. If you would rather have Squid put the origin server before neighbors, enable the prefer_direct directive. See Section 10.10.
