With the external/internal sites, we have a similar problem; same URL but different IP's. So, http://our.site.foo/ is 1.2.3.4 externally but 172.24.100.4 internally. I could've used Bind8/9 and set up "views" for that same zone, but alas manglement insists M$ (in)ActiveDirectory is a better option. Grrrr. So instead I just put the internal IP in the proxy's /etc/hosts file, HUP'ed squid and voila! If an internal user accesses http://our.site.foo/ the proxy goes to the internal address. As external users don't use the internal proxy, the DNS only needs to resolve to the external address. All this works great as long as internal users use the proxy - which we have set using AD's group policy stuff. Not sure if this will help you but it's in the archives now in case anyone wants to know how to force squid to use a specific IP instead of what DNS resolves to. Cheers, James
