Hi, I ma just confused to why i experienced slow browsing on my private web servers using squid. To elaborate this i construct a clumsy network layout below private web server(192.168.20.201) | | | workstations <-------------->10/100 3com switch<--------------------->squid (192.168.20.x) | (192.168.20.1) | | | CISCO 2600 ROUTER | | | INTERNET With this setup, traffic coming from the internet via my squid server is really fast, while accessing my private webserver is just like im on modem. If i delete those Internet options on IE, and access it by http://192.168.20.201 or by using http://myprivweb, its really fast..why? Is there any special config on this? I already configured IE not to use proxy if access my private web server. If I dont include my proxy ip address on IE, that would definitely cut the internet access to those workstations. I want a 24 hour internet access and want a fast connection to my private webserver at the same time. Hope you can shed light on this matter.
