Hello again. I followed that document to the letter here, and squid doesn't want to allow any traffic to my cache sites:
--------- ERROR The requested URL could not be retrieved While trying to retrieve the URL: http://my.site.com/ The following error was encountered: * Access Denied. Access control configuration prevents your request from being allowed at this time. Please contact your service provider if you feel this is incorrect. Your cache administrator is webmaster. Generated Thu, 20 Nov 2008 13:27:20 GMT by proxy.site.com (squid/2.6.STABLE18) ----------- This is what I've added to the squid.conf: http_port 80 accel defaultsite=my.site.com vhost cache_peer 192.168.5.15 parent 80 0 no-query originserver name=moon acl sites_moon dstdomain my.site.com cache_peer_access moon allow sites_moon cache_peer 192.168.5.12 parent 80 0 no-query originserver name=triton acl sites_triton dstdomain terminal.site.com cache_peer_access triton allow sites_triton cache_peer 192.168.5.14 parent 80 0 no-query originserver name=titan acl sites_titan dstdomain files.site.com cache_peer_access titan allow sites_titan That's all the guide told me to do, so I'm not sure what to do next. Gosh, I wish this wasn't so difficult.

Indeed, there's apparently a *lot* of old, bad info out there. I'll follow the doc you linked and hopefully I'll be good to go!

No. Just set /etc/hosts.

Current Squid by default has all the necessary components to be a reverse-proxy. <snip dnsserver helper troubles> > > Any ideas? I'd love to get this up and running.

In general Squid does not need to perform any DNS to act as a reverse-proxy. Install the Ubuntu squid release and take a read of this page for the configuration: http://wiki.squid-cache.org/SquidFaq/ReverseProxy (particularly the part 'How Do I Set It Up') NP: The demo config does not involve DNS. URL domain name in "dstdomain" ACL and and IP on the "cache_peer <IP> 80 0 ..." lines make it work without needing to check destination IP.
