Re: [squid-users] Single squid in a squid -> filter -> squid setup

[Chris Wilcox]

Hmm, apparently it is being done with one squid instance by at least 2 
people I've messaged on a forum though they've yet to describe it fully 
enough for me to understand.  I was kinda wondering why I can't just send 
localhost requests direct (either direct to the web or direct to a true 
parent proxy) and requests from the LAN through to the DansGuardian 
instances.  This wouldn't loop as far as I can see?

Regards,

You'll be hitting a routing loop, so no, you cannot do it with one
squid. You can do it with one squid /binary/ though - simply passing the
squid an explicit config file. In the config for squid 1. use cache_dir
null, and disable all caching - no_cache deny all. Otherwise your filter
policy will be bypassable.
There is info on the FAQ on running two squid on the same machine.

Cheers,
Rob
