Re: [squid-users] acl-specific http_port

I simpler and more generic approach would be to use cache_peer instead
of httpd_accel_host/port to find the correct backend server...

httpd_accel_host your.visible.domain
[optionally: httpd_accel_uses_host_header on]
httpd_accel_port 80

never_direct allow all

cache_peer server1 parent port1 0 no-query
cache_peer server2 parent port2 0 no-query
[create two aliases for the same IP if both run on the same server but
differnt ports]

acl special urlpath_regex dufus
cache_peer_access server1 deny dufus
cache_peer_access server2 allow dufus

This setup assumes the server can accept requests with a full URL (a
MUST in HTTP/1.1 specifications) but unfortunately not all servers do..
