OK I get that what I don't understand is how squid will know what ports I put on my cache_peer line will match up with the ports on my https_port lines? -----Original Message----- From: Henrik Nordstrom [mailto:henrik@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Monday, July 02, 2007 5:39 PM To: Jason Hitt Cc: squid-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: Muliple ports on single web backend On Mon, 2007-07-02 at 12:37 -0500, Jason Hitt wrote: > Ok heres what you sent modified for what I want to do, if I put in the > names how will it know my host IP?

To allow for multiple cache_peer lines pointing to the same host the name= option to cache_peer can be used to assign a different internal name for that cache_peer line. Example: acl web1-sites dstdomain .example.com cache_peer 192.168.1.2 parent 80 0 no-query originserver web1-http acl port80 port 80 cache_peer_access web1-http allow web1-sites port80 cache_peer 192.168.1.2 parent 443 0 no-query ssl originserver web1-https acl port443 port 443 cache_peer_access web1-https allow web1-sites port443 Regards Henrik
