1. A requirement came across my desk a few weeks ago. Not sure if 'squid' is the right tool for this, or not. It _could_ be but I'm not an expert by any means. All feedback appreciated. 2. What the developer and PM want is .. - Set a static URL like myurl.intranet.company.com. - myurl.intranet.company.com redirects to realhostname.eu.company.com - A script - living at 'realhostname' - changes the redirect to whatever. - There could be a dozen or so of these, a one to one basis myurl > realhost1 myurl2 > realhost2 myurl3 > realhost3 And so on. 3. We went to and fro and (it's complicated) changing the value in DNS is not going to work. Gotta be a URL redirect, and the PM insists it be scriptable from the app host. It looks like I can use the url_rewrite_program directive, a bit of bash/perl/PHP [1] and call it a day; if $input = URL1 then $output = realhost1 4. Am I barking up the wrong tree? Is there a better way to make all this happen? [1] http://wiki.squid-cache.org/ConfigExamples/PhpRedirectors -- Brian Dunbar "Display some adaptability"
