Hi Squids,
Joyeux Nöel & NY,
Well, here it is a question about Squid 3.x on Linux. I've realize that when
there is a new Intet interface after squid has been started, squid 3x does
not listen in that new thex. I've read that in Windows it works, but I hate
windows jejeje.
Let me explain in a clearer way. Lets say we have a 2-eth machine. Eth0 is up,
eth1 is down. then
1. ifdown eth1
2. lets start squid
3. ifup eth1
4. squid doesnt listen in eth1 until you do a -k reconfigure.
I wonder if there is another way. Of is this a bug?
This is a feature of how networking happens in Linux.
DETAIL: Squid does not listen on interfaces. Squid listens on IP addresses.
The default config with just a port number listens on a special wildcard
IP address :: or 0.0.0.0 which the OS passes all traffic from all
interfaces too.
Windows has a special message sent to all interested programs when
interfaces change. If there is any equivalent in Linux we would be
interested to know about it and see a patch making Squid listen for it.
