Re: [squid-users] Reverse proxy: destination hostname different from real hostname

Dear Amos and all, thanks for your response, but I need your last help
please. I can't understand at all what you say, so I show you the main
lines of squid.conf:

https_port 443 cert=/etc/squid3/ssl/server.crt
key=/etc/squid3/ssl/server.key defaultsite=server.company.com vhost

cache_peer 1.1.1.1 parent 443 0 no-query originserver ssl
sslflags=DONT_VERIFY_PEER login=PASS name=owaServer

acl OWA dstdomain mail.entreprise.com

cache_peer_access owaServer allow OWA

And in my DNS I have these entries:

server.company.com A IP_Reverse_Proxy

mail.entreprise.com A IP_Mail_Server

There are lots of clients machines that have server.company.com
hardcoded in /etc/hosts and I can't go to them in order to change this
line to mail.enterprise.com.

Is it possible or what do I have to edit ???

Special thanks again,

Roberto
