http_accel_single_host?????????????????????
That's a new one.

How many more are there? It sure doesn't show up in the squid.conf, User
Docs, or FAQ.

Subject: [SQU] [PATCH] Squid 2.4.DEVEL4 on Linux 2.4 Transparent Proxy?

Here is a message and a patch from a discussion I had with Adrian Chadd
<adrian@squid-cache.org> about Linux 2.4 Transparent Proxy support. Any
feedback would be appreciated.

I'm a moron. The DNS lookup was failing because I had the following lines
in my squid.conf, from the Squid FAQ:

httpd_accel_host virtual
httpd_accel_port 80
httpd_accel_with_proxy on
httpd_accel_uses_host_header on

There is one other VERY important line:

httpd_accel_single_host off

Of course Squid was trying to rewrite any transparent proxy request to the
host "virtual". I feel stupid now. Can this be changed in the
FAQ/documentation somewhere? However, transparent proxying will only work
out of the box under Linux 2.4 with a Host header. To support clients that
do not provide it, you will need my attached patch.

About the patch:

- The change is made in client_side.c so the extra system call (getsockopt)
is only made if it is needed. The alternative is to change conn_accept and
make the extra system call on every request.
- I made the required changes to configure.in and include/autoconf.h.in to
implement the --enable-linux-netfilter command line switch. I think that
the test in configure.in should probably enable this option automatically
if it finds the required header file (linux/netfilter_ipv4.h), so that
anyone compiling Squid on Linux 2.4 (or with the Linux 2.4 kernel headers)
automatically gets a working transparent proxy. It should probably also
print a warning if it is being configured on Linux 2.4 without that header.
Unfortunately, I don't know enough about automake to do it.

Here is the patch:
