My idea is to control the access to the internal servers with squid and PHP program. When the owner of the server don't pay squid blocks the access. I will write a PHP program witch will pass IPs to the squid using .TXT file. Squid reads the IPs from the file and blocks the access. So I need a way to force squid to read that .TXT file. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/URL-redirection-tp23378517p23394984.html Sent from the Squid - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
