And I can understand your frustration. Squid as out of the box do not easily support this. I had an unpublished patch for Squid-2.6 that enabled external acls to return additional header details which would suit your problem nicely, but it's somewhat lost in time by now I am afraid. I guess the currently supported method is to design an ICAP server or eCAP module doing the needed request transform. Or alternatively resurrect that old external acl functionality. Wasn't hard to implement (an hour including testing I think). Might make sense to extend this to url rewriters as well. > Here are some details: > 1.

We only want to inject this http header for certain URLs. How often do the IP assignments change? Or most importanly, how long time needs to pass before an IP is reused for another customer?
