Again, thanks for your help. It make sense and yes I understood that was what you want. To do it you need a redirector which re-writes the URL http_port 80 accel defaultsite=www.jakesite.com with a url_rewriter_program and location_rewriter_program for their config settings see "OPTIONS FOR URL REWRITING" in http://www.squid-cache.org/Versions/v2/2.6/cfgman/ Once that is done the URL are changed to squid retrieves the pages from search.jakesite.com:8000 as any normal web request.
