Hiya Squid Users - So I'm trying to configure Squid as a reverse proxy, listening on port 80, in front of two web servers. One web server runs on the localhost and listens on port 81 and contains a subset of all website content. Then the second web server is a remote box, listening on port 80, with a full set of all content. What I'd like Squid to do is act as a single front-end for these servers. A request comes in, and if it's a cache miss, it should first ask the localhost web server if it can satisfy the request. If so, it serves it up. If not, it should forward it on to the second web server. Following the guide here: http://wiki.squid-cache.org/ConfigExamples/Reverse/MultipleWebservers, I've come up with the following config: http_port 80 accel defaultsite=localhost cache_peer localhost parent 81 0 originserver name=local cache_peer example.com parent 80 0 originserver name=remote acl request dstdomain localhost cache_peer_access local allow request cache_peer_access remote allow request (I have other ACLs unrelated to this config, such as allowing http requests on port 80). The problem I run into is that a miss on the localhost web server (an HTTP 404) isn't properly forwarded on to the remote server - squid only ever tries a single parent. If I remove the localhost peer, the request is properly forwarded, and I get back the expected HTTP 200. What am I missing in my config to make it do that? Thanks, Alex
