Parent-Proxy allows you to chain proxies... if it is 0.0.0.0 then it is disabled... if it is anything else then the proxy will direct all requests to the parent instead of directly.

Src-Address forces the proxy to use a certain source if the router has multiple addresses and you want the requests to come from a specific one... otherwise it will default to using the routing table to determine the src based on the appropriate route. 0.0.0.0 means to use the routing table.

first thank you for your help but i have another question is: parent IP & src-address from where i have to get them? do i have to put any IP as i like? or i should get public IP from ISP?

src-address is used in case when users wants to assign certain IP address for use by proxy. (Requests to parent proxy or requests to servers. Address should be present on the router.

parent-proxy - if requested page is not in cache, instead of requesting web server proxy will query another proxy.

please see http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:IP/Proxy

as this is basic information from the manual.
