Hi all - Okay, I've poked around a bunch looking for possible solutions to this problem but can't seem to make any headway. I'm implementing a simple load balancing solution between two origin servers one of which is running squid and must also handle a number of non-accelerated virtual hosts. The set up looks like this: Primary server: Squid in surrogate mode listening on 80, with redirector for all URIs Apache, bound to 127.0.0.1 listening on 80 Serving a number of name-based virtual hosts Secondary server: Apache bound to IP listening on 80 I have squid running successfully for all virtual hosts using the single primary origin server with the following directives: httpd_accel_host 127.0.0.1 httpd_accel_port 80 httpd_accel_single_host on httpd_accel_uses_host_header on If I try to add support for my simple redirector (listed below) using the following directives, I can no longer connect to any of the virtual hosts. Client connections end up timing out (WARNING: Closing client 24.10.x.x connection due to lifetime timeout). redirect_program /path/to/load_balancer.pl redirect_rewrites_host_header off httpd_accel_host 127.0.0.1 httpd_accel_port 80 httpd_accel_single_host off httpd_accel_uses_host_header on The redirector (pared down for simplicity; eventually will direct to secondary server too): #!/usr/bin/perl -w $|++; while (<>) { print "http://127.0.0.1"; } I'm sure this is a matter of balancing the different confg directives but I haven't seen an config exactly like this before. Any insight would be greatly appreciated! Todd
