Now, I want to setup a caching server on Windows NT. so ,i got squid-NT from http://www.phys-iasi.ro/users/romeo/squidnt.htm. problems are: 1.which external passwd authentication program can I use? plain text passwd file ? 2.I have a squid proxy server on a linux to connect to the caching server. since the former is faster for me but has restricted accessing area, so I want to let the former first retrieve content I request ,if encounter a timeout, then turn to the caching server. also ,for some certain domain, such as *.cnn.com, I want it turn directly to the caching server. I have checked the glossary, parent/sibling/multicast are all not suit for my need?
thanks . Cheers Liu
