I also had to set up an accelerator a short while ago and found it very hard to deal with that very narrow piece of documentation. In fact, I have a Zope server running on port 9966, and since our users are used to that port, I set up a squid, listening on hostname:9966 and bound Zope to localhost:9966. I tried several combinations of vhost, vport, vport= and corresponding cache_peer-lines, but squid insisted to catch things from localhost:80, although that port was never mentioned in the setup. Finally I gave up trying alternatives and switched the whole thing to port 80, which worked... >From that arose two questions: 1) How is it possible, to accelerate "something" that is not running on port 80? 2) What is a "Host directive" (cf. vhost) - this term is never mentioned again in the squid.conf.default?
