Hey All...
A while back I posted an inquiry about directing squid's traffic over a specific network interface:
....how to ... configure Squid to use one specific ethernet interface in the machine for outbound traffic to destination web sites? I have tried using "tcp_outgoing_address 12.219.10.10" but it doesn't seem to be working.
And Henrik kindly replied:
What you are missing is proper routing within your OS to make it route traffic assigned to that NIC out via the provider connected to that NIC. You could also change the default route of your server, but this may have impact on other traffic.
Some faq was suggested for Linux environments, but I'm running on FreeBSD 5.2. I do not want to change the default route. Is there some other config option in Squid to handle this?
I'm reading up on the IPFW functionality in FreeBSD; sounds like it can route TCP traffic on a per-port basis. Is this the correct approach? If so, does anyone have a sample of ipfw rules they're using for this?
-Thanks,
Wayne
