Hi all, I have two Squid proxy servers on my LAN. Server1 and Server2. Server2 is sibling for Server1. Transparent caching is implemented on Server1 with the help of ipchains and httpd accelrator in squid. After configuring Server2 as sibling cache server on Server1 Forwarding loops are occuring on Server1. The error which is loged in cache.log file is 2001/02/19 18:57:01| WARNING: Forwarding loop detected for: GET /roze/14smll.jpg HTTP/1.0 Accept: */* Referer: http://www.hospicegirls.com/roze/alena20rwa.htm Accept-Language: en-us User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.0; Windows 98; DigExt) Host: www.hospicegirls.com Cache-Control: max-age=259200, only-if-cached Via: 1.0 Server1:8080 (Squid/3.2.STABLE4), 1.0 Server2:3128 (Squid/3.2.STABLE4) X-Forwarded-For: 192.168.0.30 , 192.168.0.1 Please note that 192.168.0.1 is IP address of Server1 and 192.168.0.30 is IP address of any clinet whose request is being redirected to port 8080 with the help of ipchains. All web requests of clients are full filled by our Server1. For clinets Server1 is default gateway. When a web request is arrived on Server1 it redirected to port 8080 that is port on which squid is running. Loop occurs when a request passes through one proxy more than once. Whenever a request comes on Server1 it contacts Server2 as it is sibling server for Server1, When Server2 returns the desired page back to Server1, now here a loop occurs as this request will be passing our proxy server second time. I guess that packet are passing through Server2 second time. First they pass they were redirected from port 80 to 8080. Now they are passing back from Server2 back to Server1. The help at squid web site stats that Loop occurs due to transparent cahing or parent caches. I do not use parent cache therefore loop is occuring due to transparent caching. ****I need help how I can use Transparent caching along with Server1 which has Server2 as its sibling with out forwarding loop problem. **** All things were OK before configuring Server2 as sibling for Server1. Many thanks in advance. ____________________________________________________________________ Get free email and a permanent address at http://www.netaddress.com/?N=1 - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org
