Hi, I have been digging the archives and could not find an answer to my issue, if this question has been asked before, i appologize.. if someone could point me to that resource, please do. The info so far i have seen does not realy go into my situation as it assumes most webservers run on default ports (80).o The examples i have seen so far only realy talk about one IP one webserver on one port I have the following issue/problem: For years i have been using the apache proxy directives to forward traffic to various webservers (apaches & tomcats). These webservers run on various non default ports, it is not possible to let all of them listen on the same port as defined in squid.conf ,or at least run on the same port as the accelerated port Now the acceleration mechanisme works for default stuff. for example if a user would use the following URL's in their browsers. www.example.org > www.trueserver.org (works) www.example.org:8080 > www.trueserver.org:8080 (works) but www.example.org > www.trueserver.org:57007 is not working. Basicly i dont want to bother users with portnumbers.. also as we want to migrate from an apache based proxy mechanisme to a squid central proxy solution, allready URLs are communicated to users and website owners.. it would be unpractical to adjust the URLS for more then a 100 sites. I know i can use iptables or any firewall mechanisme to redirect port 80 to a different host on a different port.. as long as there is only one tomcat/apache daemon listening on that IP/port.. But what if your backendservers look like this: 195.169.98.36:57007 195.169.98.36:57008 195.169.98.36:57009 195.169.98.36:9000 195.169.98.36:8000 195.169.98.36:8080 195.169.98.40:9000 195.169.98.40:8000 195.169.98.40:8080 and so on... How to make a map between www.site1.org > 195.169.98.36:57007 www.site2.org > 195.169.98.36:57008 www.site3.org > 195.169.98.36:57009 etc etc etc So.. the question is howto accelerate on a single squid traffic to hosts which do not listen on default ports without users knowing or having to bother which ports the actual site is running. I am sure i am not the only one with a slightly less default reverse proxy setup, so i was kinda suprised i did not find info on such a setup Any pointers, ideas, tips, hints are more then welcome and will be much appreciated.
