I see two potential issues (which may or may not be important for you).
1. Non http 1.1 clients may have trouble (ie: they don't send the host on the URL request, or if they are not really http but using port 80). 2. Back tracking if you get a complaint from some website (ie: RIAA complaint) is going to be near impossible of determining who accessed whatever.

Are there any issues with attempting to use HAProxy to intercept internet traffic, and redirect it to a farm of caches as opposed to the default usage of HAProxy? My anticapted setup would be use to have a listen group on say port 8080, redirect port 80 traffic using a firewall to HAProxy and have it then send that HTTP traffic to a farm of cache devices. It seems like this should be pretty simple to setup, using the same type of setup you would use for just balancing a group of http servers? Is anyone using this or have you heard of it being used in such a way - I don't currently see any issues? Thanks in advance for your help Dave No virus found in this incoming message.
