Squid uses "icp_port" to send Internet Cache Protocol requests to neighbouring squid servers. The defualt value is 3130.

Check /etc/squid/squid.conf to include on both routers:
Code:
icp_port 3130
In addition, if your ISP provides a cache, you can use it as an "upstream" cache which might reutrn quicker results using:
Code:
cache_peer [proxy_ip_if_static_or_name_if_using_DNS]
parent 3128 3130 no-query
Please note that the "no-query" option prevents ICP from running here.
