Hello, I was searching for the logic of setting visible_hostname and unique_hostname. I found out that value of unique_hostname is set by calling getMyHostname() function, which returns value of visible_hostname, if it's set. However, I would prefer not to do this - to use autodected hostname, and only change visible_hostname in configuration file. My point is that we use different /etc/hosts on different systems for configuring more system services (not just squid) to run on different IP's with the same configuration files, e.g.: - hosts file: 195.168.1.136 proxy1.nextra.sk proxy.nextra.sk - squid config: http_port proxy.nextra.sk:3128 tcp_outgoing_address proxy.nextra.sk udp_incoming_address proxy.nextra.sk visible_hostname proxy.nextra.sk Squid could resolve it's own unique hostname to proxy1.nextra.sk, if it would not take value of visible_hostname. That would allow me using of _the same_ config file on more machines, which would make teh administration much easier. However, because this logic, it's impossible and I _must_ hold more configuration files, no matter what I do to make that easier. I would like to ask, could the *hostname logic be changed, so people could set visible_hostname and leave unique_hostname to rely on the internal logic? Should I fill bugreport for this?
