[squid-users] IPC Broadcast Option?

I've been reading the squid documentation about IPC between cache peers. It
seems that connections can be either direct or multicast. What about
broadcast?

I ask because on my network, all caches can communicate over a common
ethernet segment. Thus, it would be trivial to just point each cache
to use the broadcast address for that segment to make requests of all
other servers.

Is this a possible configuration? I'm using Squid v2.4.6 from the Debian
Linux distribution.

Thanks!
