As the servers is on different ports the setup with Squid-2.5 is a little 
tricky, but only a little.

There is two possible approaches

a) Use two http_port directives, one per port, and use the virtual port 
accelerator mode.

Henrik,

Would you elaborate on point (a)?

I have a case here where I would like to do something similar.

1 Squid firewall machine.   Internet: 24.115.66.100   Intranet: 
192.168.20.10
   2 Internal Web Servers.
            E-Mail server:  192.168.20.8:80
            Calendar server:   192.168.20.9:81

I can if need be re-align the Calendar server to port 80, but...

So far I have tried the virtual

              httpd_accel_host virtual
              httpd_accel_port 80
              httpd_accel_single_host off
              httpd_accel_with_proxy on
              httpd_accel_uses_host_header on
For now though, I resulted to allow access to one host and have used our 
old Netscape Proxy 3.6sp3 for the other server.
My current Squid config is:

              httpd_accel_host email.komatsu.ca
              httpd_accel_port 80
              httpd_accel_single_host on
              httpd_accel_with_proxy on
              httpd_accel_uses_host_header on
I found the documents opaque on the transparent proxy issue where more 
than one internal host is concerned.
If I can solve this issue I can dump the Netscape proxy.   :^)

Thanks

Tim.

b) Use a redirector helper to rewrite the port number accordingly.

Or you could look into using Squid-3 where this type of configurations is 
a lot simpler. But be warned that Squid-3.0 is still under development and 
is not yet released in a STABLE version suitable for production use.

But if you can make sure the servers run on standard ports your life will
be a bit simpler, and also the risk for problems is much less.
