http_port 192.168.0.15:8080 accel defaultsite=fu.company.com cache_peer 172.0.0.1 parent 8080 0 no-query originserver Your pointing it to its loopback address on port 8080, that would still be squid, you need to change that to the IP Address and port of the web server. You can run the web server on the same host if you like but it would have to be on a different port. Also I noticed in the earlier message that your auto configuration script isn't called out on the line if its http://proxy.host.net:8080/proxy.pac, and you are only specifying http://proxy.host.net:8080, you would need to make sure the web server is set to use proxy.pac as the default index page. I hope this is a proof of concept test configuration, because if you have 6,000 clients 1g of cache really isn't going to help you very much.
