Good good... We are already serving almost 80% of our content with squid, so I guess we're doing something right ;) One last question, on both machines (10.0.0.2 and 10.0.0.3) do I need to include an entry to the hosts file responding for the main domain? Someting like this 127.0.0.1 localhost 10.0.0.2 www.example.com Tnx again On Thu, Nov 19, 2009 at 11:43 AM, Amos Jeffries <squid3@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > NublaII Lists wrote: >> >> Hi there >> >> I have a couple of quick questions to which I have seen many examples, >> but I have never been able to figure out the whole picture. >> >> In a simple setup like this: >> >> 1 squid machine >> 2 www servers >> >> website: www.example.com >> external ip: 1.2.3.4 >> >> squid machine: >> name: squid.example.com >> ip: 10.0.0.1 >> >> www1 machine: >> name: www1.example.com >> ip: 10.0.0.2 >> >> www2 machine: >> name: www2.example.com >> ip: 10.0.0.3 >> >> Here is the part of the squid.conf that applies here >> >> # Basic parameters >> visible_hostname www.example.com >> # This line indicates the server we will be proxying for >> http_port 80 accel defaultsite=www.example.com >> # And the IP Address for it >> cache_peer 10.0.0.2 parent 80 0 no-query originserver round-robin >> cache_peer 10.0.0.3 parent 80 0 no-query originserver round-robin >> >> So, questions... >> >> - is the squid.conf syntax correct? > > Yes.
