Hello, in squid.conf: # TAG: always_direct # Usage: always_direct allow|deny [!]aclname ... # # Here you can use ACL elements to specify requests which should # ALWAYS be forwarded by Squid to the origin servers without using # any peers. For example, to always directly forward requests for # local servers ignoring any parents or siblings you may have use # something like: # # acl local-servers dstdomain my.domain.net # always_direct allow local-servers So, what's "origin servers" by definition in Squid? In reverse-proxy mode, does it mean the peers which have an originserver option? In normal proxy mode, does it mean a domain name's destination IP address? for examle, www.google.com's original server is 64.233.189.147. Thank you. -- Yahoo/Skype: sqlcamel
