[squid-users] Configuring tcp_outgoing_address for Squid with 2 internet connections when 1 connection uses dhcp to get the IP address

Hi all,

I am nearing completion of the configuration of the OpenBSD Gateway
with two internet connections.

So there is a problem with squid.

The task is to configure a set of users "dsl_users" alone use the DSL
connection to connect to websites and force all others use the cable
modem connection. The file "/etc/squid.conf" gives the following
instructions for that.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

# TAG: tcp_outgoing_address
# Allows you to map requests to different outgoing IP addresses
# based on the username or sourceaddress of the user making
# the request.
#
# tcp_outgoing_address ipaddr [[!]aclname] ...
#
# Example where requests from 10.0.0.0/24 will be forwareded
# with source address 10.1.0.1, 10.0.2.0/24 forwarded with
# source address 10.1.0.2 and the rest will be forwarded with
# source address 10.1.0.3.
#
# acl normal_service_net src 10.0.0.0/255.255.255.0
# acl good_service_net src 10.0.1.0/255.255.255.0
# tcp_outgoing_address 10.0.0.1 normal_service_net
# tcp_outgoing_address 10.0.0.2 good_service_net
# tcp_outgoing_address 10.0.0.3
#
# Processing proceeds in the order specified, and stops at first fully
# matching line.
#
#Default:
# none
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

but the problem is that though I have the IP of the DSL connection
fixed I get a differrent IP each time I reboot for cable connection.
So how do I configure this?

presently i am stuck with the following configuration.

#
acl dsl_users src aaa.aaa.aaa.aaa/32, bbb.bbb.bbb.bbb/32, ccc.ccc.ccc.ccc/32
tcp_outgoing_address dsl.dsl.dsl.dsl dsl_users
tcp_outgoing_address
#

Since I am not able to give the IP address for the last
"tcp_outgoing_address" squid shows error and doesnot start up.

Could someone provide an Idea of how to solve the problem ???

Thankyou somuch

kind Regards

Siju
