Sorry it's taken me so long to test this out (a week...).
I have it working with some very preliminary tests, but I had to add the
"allow-direct" to the http_port line in addition to the example on the Wiki
for the BasicAccelerator.
Is this correct? Is my config "special" and/or does this depend on the
web/appserver being connected to, or should this be added to the wiki (i.e.
documentation error)?
Is allow-direct just a security thing, or am I somehow disabling some of the
Squid goodness?
Thanks again,
AJ

Subject: EXTERNAL: [squid-users] NEWBIE Q: httpd_accel_single_host?
Does anyone have any config examples, tips or FAQ about simulating the
"old"
(pre 2.6, at least) single-host acceleration (i.e. as was done with the
directive in the subject)?
I have Duane Wessels' O'Reilly book here, and am trying to build a very
specific server accelerator for across a slow, WAN link, but just for a
single back-end host. (Chapter 15, pg 307, if you're now
following-along
;) )

I'm a novice (and maybe I shouldn't speak out of turn), but I wonder why
you can't simply do sstandard reverse proxying, e.g., name your proxy
server "original.org" in DNS, rename your slow web server "backend.org",
and do a simple accel config:
Indeed. Reverse-proxy is what we call it nowdays.
The updated version of that single-host option (pg *308*) can be found
here:
http://wiki.squid-cache.org/ConfigExamples/Reverse/BasicAccelerator
Chapter 15, pg 307 was about the multiple-host options AFAICT.
That can be found here:
