I've only ever used them as a parent, if only to try to stay "below
the radar" so Shaw doesn't know I'm running servers ("against the
rules").

I was running Shaw like:

cache_peer px1nr.wp.shawcable.net parent 8080 0 no-query round-robin
cache_peer px2nr.wp.shawcable.net parent 8080 0 no-query round-robin
cache_peer px3nr.wp.shawcable.net parent 8080 0 no-query round-robin

But it stopped working a while back and I disabled it.  Even when it was
working, sometimes 1 proxy would go down and Squid would be dog slow
every 3rd access!

If you get a good parent setup working reliably, let me/us know! Perhaps
8080 is no longer the best port?
