RE: offline mode issue

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I'm happy to provide whatever documentation I can, but I'd like to make
sure it's working first and this outstanding issue still has me stumped.
Here's a quick snip from the access log, going to a few sites. Notice
that all of them are misses.  Google is going to 3 different servers, so
I could maybe see a miss the first time it visits each site, but these
are all misses every time. So, in the present setup, I cannot support an
offline_mode at all.  Any ideas on this?

Would you mind documenting your WCCPv2 setup in the Squid Wiki? It'd be
nice
to have an example of an L2 redirect setup.

I've been meaning to do it but I've not had enough time to setup my 3550
as a lab router..

Check out http://wiki.squid-cache.org/ConfigExamples/ to see what I'm on
about.

Thanks!

Everything seems to work now, except for the offline_mode (my original
post).  I'm still scratching my head about that one.
