Hi,
I have a non-ICP proxy/cache server (WinGate over NT) that has a ZakNet
connection (asymmetric satellite link) and can access sites faster than
our existing IPL, notably sites like microsoft.com, msn.com,
geocities.com, etc.
I have two other proxies, configured as siblings, running squid (1.1.22)
in my Solaris 2.5.1 boxes.
Naturally, I would want to forward destination domains that are fetched
faster to the WinGate proxy using cache_host_acl in the squid servers. But
I cannot seem to make this work as I am watching the logs of the servers
and not seeing any forwarded requests?
Here's an excerpt of my squid.conf:
-----
cache_host proxy2.ourdomain.com sibling 3128 3130 proxy-only
# This is the WinGate proxy ...
cache_host wingate.ourdomain.com parent 1170 7 default no-query
.
. <snip>
.
# Access lists here ...
blah blah blah ...
# and here's my access list to redirect dstdomain to the WinGate server
acl to_zaknet dstdomain microsoft.com msn.com geocities.com
# and here's how these domains shld be forwarded to the WinGate server
cache_host_acl wingate.ourdomain.com to_zaknet
.
. <snip>
.
# End of squid.conf
-----
Thinking there could be a problem using this feature in 1.1.22, I
installed 1.2 in another machine and make use of the cache_peer_access
feature (equivalent to cache_host_acl), but to no avail?
Please enlighten me how to use this squid feature ...
Thanks.
