I know it's not good but this problem really lies on the server side. I think servers shouldn't provide two different virtualhosts with the same data, but better send redirects from alternative virtualhost to the main one. Bad that e.g. apache does not do that automatically for server aliases. > This might be something we need to deal with when purging data > automatically. Would be easier if Squid could just handle it. servers should take care of it first (vhost aliases), then a protocol should probably count with it (expand Content-Location to virtualhost too?) -- Matus UHLAR - fantomas, uhlar@xxxxxxxxxxx ; http://www.fantomas.sk/ Warning: I wish NOT to receive e-mail advertising to this address.
