Hi all, We run a webradio which is broadcast via an external streaming service (A). In an effort to keep the Internet pipe from becoming conjested with audio streaming traffic from on-campus users listening to the stream, we setup an internal streamer (B) for use on campus. Of course you have those who are not paying attention to the notice to use the inside streamer rather than the outside. Since I run dg/squid, I am configuring squid to redirect traffic requests headed for A to B. There are two ways of accessing the stream. One is via a playlist file. (i.e. http://streamserver.com/list.asx) The other is directly. (i.e. http://streamserver.com:1234/) I have setup the following to handle the playlist url's: acl streamlink url_regex -i ^http://streamserver.com/list. http_access deny streamlink deny_info http://192.168.0.x:8000/list.m3u streamlink This part works great! (Thanks Henrik. :) The following is my setup to handle the direct connections: acl streamserver dstdomain .streamserver.com acl streamport 1234 http_access deny streamserver streamport deny_info http://192.168.0.x:8000/mountpt streamserver streamport This one does not work at all. Watching the access.log, squid authenticates the request and then proceeds to pass the traffic to the external streaming server (A). Looking into the packets with wireshark shows that they are indeed headed for streamserver.com:1234.... Two questions: 1. Am I using the correct acl types to match http://streamserver.com:1234/ (dstdomain + port)? 2. Am I doing this entire redirect the hard way? I would think that squid would be the logical place to take care of this. Or is it iptables?
