[squid-users] Redirection by backend server

Hi

Trying to add some complications in my working reverse proxy.

1. I am trying to hide my domino server (used for webmail) behind it now.
The issue is that the domino server redirects the user to an internal
server where usename.nsf is kept.
Right now domino gives authentication page and once the credentials are
submitted nothing changes on screen except for the URL getting changed
from http://test.webmail.com to http://test.webmail.com/redirect.nsf?Open

In short: Server authenticating(which is configured on reverse proxy) is
different than the server hosting mailboxes for users

2. I need to hide more than one web servers behind this squid reverse proxy.

any help

PS. I am using Squid 2.6 stable 4 on RHEL 4

Hi Henrik,

Thank you for your advice! I managed to disable dns resolving by putting
an "always_direct" deny statement for the domains behind the cache-peer
in squid.conf

Case closed! Once again thank you very much for assistance!

Dirk

Squid resolves DNS names when

a) http_access processing reaches an ACL dependent on the destiation IP.

b) If it tries to go direct to the origin (never_direct not in effect).

c) If you for some reason have enabled ICMP pinging.
