Squid configuration directive prefer_direct

This directive is not available in the v8 version of Squid.

For older versions than v5 see the linked pages above


Option Name:	prefer_direct
Replaces:
Requires:
Default Value:	prefer_direct off
Suggested Config:
`Normally Squid tries to use parents for most requests. If you for some reason like it to first try going direct and only use a parent if going direct fails set this to on. By combining nonhierarchical_direct off and prefer_direct on you can set up Squid to use a parent as a backup path if going direct fails. Note: If you want Squid to use parents for all requests see the never_direct directive. prefer_direct only modifies how Squid acts on cacheable requests.`
