I have read in the wiki example of reverse proxy vhost and I have questions. Please, I am inexperienced in Squid and I'm trying to install it on my webserver in a DMZ running a reverse proxy, but does not work. In the outgoing Internet server and in DMZ webserver (apache2) there is a Debian Lenny with forwading enabled. My doubts are if the line "cache_peer ip.of.webserver parent 80 0 no-query originserver name = myAccel" where says "name = myAccel" I should put the server name that outgoing to Internet or name of the webserver in DMZ.
The name option to the cache_peer directive is just an internal label, which you can use in cache_peer_access or cache_peer_domain directives. The label itself is unimportant (as long as it is unique).
Another question is if it's work: I have not installed and running a DNS server (bind9). Then, with only setting my ISP's nameservers in resolve.conf it work???
Assuming you meant to say that you HAVE installed Bind9, but it's not resolving, some possibilities:
* You have not populated the root zone properly. * You have not set a DNS forwarder * Firewall rules are preventing your Bind9 install from making queries.
Another doubt is that the firewall (iptables) running on the Internet outgoing server I have forwarded (DNAT) requests to port 80 of the outgoing server to port 80 on the webserver in the DMZ.... This is okay????
As long as it works...
Now I can not see the pages or from the LAN or from outside (internet) and I get a message: "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".
...but it doesn't appear to. This error indicates that the Squid server is not getting a response from the web server it is supposed to be accelerating. There is not enough supplied data to point to a cause.
Thanks in advance Cactus
