Hi, I'm new to Squid and have a problem I think could be solved by
the
proxy.
I have to Apache servers, Server "A" is on a local network, and
Server
"B" is in a remote place accessible by Internet. Both servers are
running a CGI script that
serves documents when called like "/mycgi?DocID=1234".
Server "A" has only new documents, say maximum two weeks old, and
Server
"B" has all documents, new and old.
I would like to know, if through Squid, I can do this:
1) The user asks for a document using
http://<SERVER-A>/mycgi?DocID=1234
2) Squid redirects the request to the Apache server running on the
local
network.
3a) If the document is found, then Squid simply return it to the
caller.
3b) If the document is not found, then Squid redirects the request to
Server B (remote), and Apache in Server B returns the document to
Squid,
and it to the client caller.
Can Squid solve this kind of problems? does anyone knows an Open
Source
solution?
This is what proxies do. Core business as the phrase goes.
