Re: [squid-users] Multiple http servers behind a single squid

Thanks for your help. That is clear.

So the nameservers for webservername1.com (1.2.3.4) and
webservername2.com (1.2.3.5) would point to the external interface of
the machine that squid is on? These two webservers would then take
local addresses like 192.168.1.4 and 192.168.1.5?

Any caveats with this system?

Regards,
JIM
