Reverse Proxy, multiple web servers, only one is reachable

Hi there.

Currently we are running squid 2.5.STABLE3 under RHEL3. However, this
week our ssl certificate will expire and the new certificate is a
chained certificate, which is not supported by that version of squid.
Also it is an old server in need of an upgrade, so we are trying to
configure squid 2.6.STABLE21 (running under RHEL 5.3) as a reverse
proxy, but after reading the documentation, the FAQ and many emails
from the email lists we still can't figure out what we are doing
wrong.

- We have 4 web sites with public IPs x.y.z.47, x.y.z.48, x.y.z.49 and
x.y.z.50.
Each web site is hosted on a different server with Ips x.y.z.247,
x.y.z.248, x.y.z.249 and x.y.z.250 (x.y.z.47 goes to x.y.z.247, etc)
Our DNS server runs on the same box as squid.

- x.y.z.48 is using ssl connections.

- With the current configuration www.mywebsite.ca and
www1.mywebsite.ca work, but when trying to go to the other websites we
get to www.mywebsite.ca instead.

If we remove the # from the cache_peer_domain lines then the only
website accessible is www1.mywebsite.ca. The other websites time out
and we get this error message:

ERROR
The requested URL could not be retrieved

While trying to retrieve the URL: http://www.mywebsite.ca/

The following error was encountered:

    * Unable to forward this request at this time.

This request could not be forwarded to the origin server or to any
parent caches. The most likely cause for this error is that:

    * The cache administrator does not allow this cache to make direct
connections to origin servers, and
    * All configured parent caches are currently unreachable.

Your cache administrator is root.

(squid/2.6.STABLE21)

- It's our understanding that squid uses /etc/squid/hosts to have the
hostnames redefined and to get traffic to the backend servers. So if
the client requests www.mywebsite.ca, with dns record is x.y.z.47,
squid uses the hosts file to resolve www.mywebsite to x.y.z.247. Is
this correct?

- We also want to avoid people connecting to the websites using any
Ips (either x.y.z.47, .48, etc or x.y.z.247, .248, etc)


Below you can find the configuration files. Please let me know if you
need more information. I'd really appreciate if you could point me in
the right direction.
