RE: [squid-users] Internet facing proxy

OK - so just to clarify. I want authenticated requests from the outside world to hit my server at internal address of 172.30.0.18
So I add the following lines in to my conf file:-

http_port 8080 accel defaultsite=avupdate.domain.com (as in 'proper' DNS name for site as far as outside world is concerned)

Then:-

cache_peer 172.30.0.18 parent 8080 0 no-query originserver name=myAccel (for this is the internal IP of the webserver - it should be the only site on it but I will add a vhost onto the first line if this is not the case).

Does this stack up?
Cheers
Si

Please read the documentation on correctly configuring "Reverse Proxy"
at http://wiki.squid-cache.org/SquidFaq/ReverseProxy
under "How do I set it up?"

With correctly configured cache_peer lines, DNS never becomes involved
and all requests go to the pre-configured internal servers just fine.
