I am running squid 2.6 on a RedHat Enterprise box in my DMZ. If point my public addresses to secondary non-routable IP addresses on the NIC of the Linux box via ACL's on my firewall. From there, requests are filtered into my internal web servers in regards to the non-routable IP the request is coming from. I have having an issue where my squid reverse proxy will only function correctly if I open a terminal window and start the squid process with /usr/local/squid/sbin/squid -NCd1. My webpages will work correctly from this point on and I notice it starts with only one process id when I do it this way. However, if I use the actual squid service in the System Tools instead of using the command line, I see that it always starts with 2 process ids and my webpages will not work. I get page not found and no traffic shows up in my access.log file. I need this service to start automatically and function because the Linux box is rebooted after hours once every week. It rebooted last night and I came in this morning to find that the websites were down so I ran the squid startup command manually and everything returned to normal. I tried using the squid service itself, which started normally even on reboot, but the websites would not work until I shut off the squid service and ran the startup command normally. If there are any ideas as to how I can resolve this issue and have squid startup automatically, I would appreciate the help. I am not an expert at Linux so please feel free to explain things in a more detailed manner if need be.
