Hey everyone,
I am currently running Pound in the DMZ as the reverse proxy but squid as a
normal proxy. They are running on the same box and all that.
I just wanted to know if anyone here had any experience with both and could
recommend to move my pound setup to squid to simplify things?
Thanks in advance,
Simon Dwyer
From 2.6, squid can easily handle multi-mode configurations and do both
jobs.
All you need to do is add more http_port and cache_peer lines to enable
the reverse-proxy part in squid. That should let you drop Pound entirely
and free u those CPU cycles spent running it.
From my own experience here I would only add a recommendation of adding
the reverse-proxy bits of squid above the standard proxy restrictions.
