Occasionally the cache.log will show:
2005/03/08 14:13:26| Failed to select source for 'http://st.sageanalyst.net/tag-703.js'
2005/03/08 14:13:26| always_direct = 0
2005/03/08 14:13:26| never_direct = 1
2005/03/08 14:13:26| timedout = 0
no live cache_peers where this could be forwarded, or no peers where this request were allowed to be forwarded.
if these sites are not yours then most likely someone tried to use your accelerator as a general purpose proxy. See access.log.
it is recommended to set up http_access to only allow reuqests to your published servers using the dstdomain acl. This will stop these requests proper, avoiding the "failed to select source" clutter in your cache.log.
Can anyone be more specific on how to accomplish this?
And recently I have seen our main IP address with /robots.txt on the end and the same message.
We have a robots.txt file so why can it not find it??
Most likely your forwarding policies or redirector does not account for requests by IP.
And examples of how to correct this??
Sorry but there are just so many things that one can configure in squid I am a little scared to touch the conf file for fear of crashing our sites.
Thanks
