Basically here is my setup:
I have a cache located on an oil rig
down south and one in the home office. There is a dns in the home
office that I don't have access to on the rig, and there is one on the
rig. There are webservers in both locations (management and control
stuff) that I need access to. What I'd like to do is be able to
forward requests to the parent without having to resolve them locally.
if
i do a dns_nameserver 127.0.0.1 I won't be able to split the requests
between both sites (i.e. !somewebserver.local won't be resolved locally
and will fail)
ideas ?
Use never_direct (http://www.squid-cache.org/Doc/config/never_direct/)
in association with a dstdomain ACL. Any matching domains should not
attempt resolution, but will send the request to the appropriate peer
(as defined by your cache_peer_access rules).
