Re: [squid-users] newbie question

[poncenby]

Thanks for your replies, however I don't think I explained what I need 
very clearly as the reverse proxy seems to be concerned with enhancing 
performance of a web server.  I don't have a webserver, I simply want 
squid to forward all requests without having to configure client proxy 
settings. Static dns entries in /etc/hosts pointing to squid will be on 
the client machine already, so squid needs to construct the absolute url 
from the host and url fields in the http header and forward to the 
origin servers.
Squid acl rules and iptables will be used so this doesn't become an open 
proxy.

can this be done?
thanks again.
