TAG NAME nonhierarchical_direct

Description Enable/disable Squid  to send non-hierarchial requests to parents
Built Option
 Default
Usage
 nonhierarchical_direct on|off
Default
 nonhierarchical_direct on
Synopsis
By default, Squid will send any non-hierarchical requests (matching hierarchy_stoplist or not cacheable request type) direct to origin servers. If you set this to off, then Squid will prefer to send these requests to parents. Note that in most configurations, by turning this off you will only add latency to this request without any improvement in global hit ratio. If you are inside a firewall then see never_direct instead of this directive.

Arguments
