[squid-users] Can cache_peer be localhost?

[Peng Yu]

Hi, I have the following configuration. When I access port 3129 and it
is localhost's turn in the round-robin, then the access will fail. Is
there a way to make it work?

$ grep -v '^#' squid.conf|grep -v '^$'
acl localnet src 172.16.0.0/12    # RFC1918 possible internal network
acl SSL_ports port 443
