[squid-users] Re: Accelerating virtual domains

Recommended configuration for domain virtual host accelerators:

configure --disable-internal-dns

httpd_accel_host your.main.domain
httpd_accel_uses_host_header on
httpd_port your.visible.ip.address:80

acl accel_servers dst ip.of.backend.server1 ip.of.backens.server2 ...
acl port80 port 80
acl http protocol http

http_access allow accel_servers http port80
http_access deny all

/etc/hosts:
ip.of.backend.server www.some.domain
ip.of.backend.server2 www.someother.domain
...

and PLEASE do not reply to another thread when making a new question.
Your question easily gets lost that way.
