The trick is simple. We call that accelerator mode since squid can cache some responses for both.
Accelerator--<application>Squid</application> can function as THE connection on port 80 of a server and can relay requests to another server or servers, caching the results to increase apparent speed. Those other servers might be on the same machine or on different ones. The method is called a custom redirect program and here is a simple example: <GUILabel>Custom redirect program</GUILabel> This list of options was quiet until this one arrived. This setting allows <application>Squid</application> to be an accelerator for Several or <emphasis>all</emphasis> servers in the local network. An example would be two apache servers at, say <hardware>192.168.1.7</hardware> and <hardware>192.168.1.17</hardware> <application>Squid</application> is on the internet gateway and exposing port 80 for <Hardware>www.domain1.net</Hardware> and <Hardware>www.domain2.org</Hardware>. The redirect program might look something like this. </Para> </ListItem> </OrderedList> Screen> # #!/usr/bin/perl while (<>) { s@http://192\.168\.1\.7@http://www.domain1.net s@http://192\.168\.1\.17@http://www.domain2.org print; I think you can backtranslate the sgml codings here. As you can see, the script is very simple. Civileme
