urm... yes.

However, you'll need to fiddle with the acls a little to force fuzzy to
not make queries to the outside world, to always ask a peer.

So (assuming squid 1.2) try:

acl all src 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0
never_direct allow all
always_direct deny all
cache_peer heather sibling 3128 3130 weight=50
cache_peer dad sibling 3128 3130 weight=50

The question is, does anything else support ICP as the relevant RFC says
it should be implemented, something which squid is the only known one to
fully support it.
