Re: [squid-users] Ignore requests from certain hosts in access_log

Ok, that sort of worked. I have a pair of load balancers sitting in
front of my Squid proxy farm. The load balancers insert the
X-Forwarded-For header into each HTTP request which allows Squid to log
their connections using their real client source IP (extracted from
X-Forwarded-For). In reality, the connections to the squid servers are
being made directly from the load balancers.

When I use log_access to deny logging to the load balancer's IP
addresses, -nothing- gets logged to access_log. I am attempting to not
log the "health HTTP checks" from 10.26.100.130/10.26.100.131 but still
log the other traffic. It doesn't seem that log_access is
X-Forwarded-For aware? Any ideas?

acl loadbalancers src 10.26.100.130/255.255.255.255
acl loadbalancers src 10.26.100.131/255.255.255.255
log_access deny !loadbalancers

Thanks,

Josh

What about 'log_access' ?
