These siblings use ICP protocol to check if the other proxy has the
object. That protocol only uses URL and fails if the response uses Vary
mechanism from HTTP/1.1.

Its better to use HTCP protocol between the siblings so they can cope
with variants and other HTTP/1.1 things better. For that you need the
"htcp" parameter on the cache_peer line, maybe Squid to be built with
--enable-htcp, and htcp_port and access controls to be configured.
