Re: Squid as reverse proxy

How do you want Squid to differentiate between the different servers?

a) By the Host header

b) By unique Internet IP addresses

c) Different potions of the URL "file" space

---- Alternative A ----

Suqid.conf:

httpd_accel_host your.primary.domain
httpd_accel_uses_host_header on
acl accelerated_servers dst y.y.y.y z.z.z.z
http_access allow accelerated_servers

/etc/hosts:

y.y.y.y domain.of.server.1
z.z.z.z domain.of.server.2

Squid build options:

./configure --disable-internal-dns ....

--- Alternative B ----

Squid.conf:

httpd_accel_host virtual

/etc/hosts:

as above

Squid build options:

as above

Squid machine setup:

1 virtual IP address for each server, and this IP is officially
registered on the domain name.

Redirector program:

#!/usr/bin/perl -p
s%http://y.y.y.y\b%http://domain.of.server1% && next;
s%http://z.z.z.z\b%http://domain.of.server2% && next;

--- alternative C ---

Use a more advanced redirector. No example given here.
