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/
Well, to CHANGE the URL like that you will need to use a redirector, not
a peer.
To peer as a forward-proxy squid simply imitates a server and has DNS
pointed at it. The peer still needs to understand when requests for
linproxy1.mysite.com arrive at it from squid through the private channel.
Config settings:
http_port linproxy1.mysite.com:80 accel
Could do with defaultsite=linproxy1.mysite.com to un-break some broken
client software.
cache_peer 10.2.234.9 parent 80 0 no-query originserver name=searchengine proxy-only
proxy-only in accelerators does away with almost all of the actual
benefit of 'acceleration' squid provides through caching unchanged content.
Should work though as log as the peer knows its hosting inproxy1.mysite.com.

Subject: Re: Setting up squid as an accel proxy
I don't understand why I am having so much trouble getting something that
seems to be so simple working. I have downloaded and installed
squid-2.6.STABLE16 on my Linux box.
Please use STABLE17, 16 has a major security bug.
I want to proxy my search engine's
search page so I don't want squid caching the pages. I just want squid to
act as a reverse proxy. After reading "Squid The Definitive Guide" and
lots of posts on the web, I still can't get it to work. It would seem
that the following basic config file should do the trick. This is based
on http://wiki.squid-cache.org/SquidFaq/ReverseProxy
http_port 80 accel defaultsite=linproxy1.mysite.com
cache_peer searchengine.mysite.com parent 80 0 no-query originserver
http_access allow all
I can get squid to run with no errors, but it doesn't reverse proxy the
search engine's search page. With my browser I can go directly to the
search engine with no problems, but I get a "Connection has timed out"
error when I try to go through linproxy1.
So http://linproxy1.mysite.com is the publicly accessible website for the
search engine?
Does the machine at searchengine.mysite.com serve pages for
http://linproxy1.mysite.com properly?

Please use Squid 2.6STABLE17 or 3.0STABLE1.
There are serious security advisories out on all earlier releases.
