See Thread at: http://www.techienuggets.com/Detail?tx=56772 Posted on behalf of a User All, I really need help here, and this has got to be a real simple problem, just not easy to lay out for you all. I am using Squid 2.6 as a reverse proxy for our webservers. Our webservers get rebooted every night, and during that downtime, we send users to a "sorry server". We are using a Cisco CSS device to route the traffic to the sorry server, when it detects that the webservers are down. The problem I am having is that when the webservers go down, the Squid server is delivering content from it's cache instead of a 404. This is causing half-loaded webpages instead of the SORRY SERVER page. ###############CONFIG################## cache_peer 12.xxx.xxx.xxx parent 80 0 no-query originserver name=foo acl sites_foo dstdomain www1.foobar.com www.foobar.com cache_peer_access foo allow sites_foo cache_peer_access foo deny all acl foo_networks src 12.xxx.xxx.xxx/27 http_access allow foo_networks http_port 12.xxx.xxx.xxx:80 accel defaultsite=www1.foobar.com
