Hi comunity, Squid fans

I would like to use an external acl process for Geoip processing

i have tried to setup squid to send the remote peer address using %<a 
code but it always reply with a "-"

external_acl_type MyGeopip ttl=3600 negative_ttl=3600 children-startup=2 
children-idle=2 children-max=20 concurrency=1 ipv4 %un %SRC %SRCEUI48 
%>ha{X-Forwarded-For} %DST %ssl::>sni %USER_CERT_CN %note %<a  
/lib/squid3/squid-geoip

acl MyGeopip_acl external MyGeopip
http_access deny !MyGeopip_acl

I was thinking that Squid call the helper before resolving the remote route.

So to force it, i have added a "fake" acl to force Squid to calculate 
the remote address.

acl fake_dst dst 127.0.0.2
http_access deny !fake_dst !MyGeopip_acl

But it failed too, the external_acl still receive the "-" instead of the 
remote public IP address of the server


Where is the mistake ?

Regards
