Amos, I have upgraded to STABLE17 but I still have the same issue. Basically I want to be able to go to URL in my browser like this: http://linproxy1.mysite.com/. (linproxy1 is running squid) and have squid proxy the default search page from: http://searchengine.mysite.com/ Config settings: http_port linproxy1.mysite.com:80 accel cache_peer 10.2.234.9 parent 80 0 no-query originserver name=searchengine proxy-only Martin C.
