I'm trying to get squid to work as a reverse proxy in front of a single web server which runs domain virtualhosts: http_port in:80 vhost cache_peer out parent 80 0 originserver 'in' is my input address, 'out' is the address of of the web server. The problem that I have is that each requests takes a considerable time to process (in which time squid is trying to resolve the Host: hostname and since I dont have a dns on the squid box, resolve never succeeds). Eventually the page is served, it just waits through some timeout on every request. Adding my vhosts to /etc/hosts on the squid box solves the issue. Can I have an accelerator for a single backend server with vhosts, without the need to resolve the Host: header (or if not possible, how to effectivly workaround it, adding all vhosts to /etc/hosts is not an option)?
