Hello Squid Users, I have a machine that has static connections (running apache, vsftpd, etc). Upstream bandwidth is costly, so I would like to use our D-S-L connection to save up on some traffic. On D-S-L line, IP changes at each authentication [(PPPoE authentication using a secondary IP route table). I am using a secondary route table as follows: echo '101 d-s-l'>> /etc/iproute2/rt_tables ip rule add from 192.168.1.64 table d-s-l ip route add default via 192.168.1.254 table d-s-l ip rule add from 192.168.1.0/24 table d-s-l squid: tcp_outgoing_address 192.168.1.64 [192.168.1.64 being ppp interface IP, 192.168.1.254 being DSLAM IP from telco] This works. However, on PPPoE, end points are not known beforehand so I cannot attach squid outgoing. Machine has eth0, eth1, and ppp (over eth1). eth0 is static server IP where main routing is done. D-S-L is on eth1 via ip route table above. Is it possible to bind squid to an interface?
Squid uses the bind() API to the kernel. So no.
I think this sounded absurd :) Other option probably tcp_outgoing_tos/mark?
Have you tried to get it working without Squid needing a particular sending IP? When Squid leaves the IP selection up the the OS its should be given the primary box IP as of the time of the connection setup. Most software use bind()/connect() just like Squid, so will also be having problems on your box if Squids default wont work.
As a kludge workaround you can add an OS trigger on ppp-up/down to reconfigure Squid.
