I'd rather not contribute to bad documentation online.
Just a couple of points:
* the rdr-to support has been updated for 3.4. So a note in the
documentation stating thet this is for 3.2 and 3.3 specifically and
things will be changign again in future may be useful.
Done.
* visible_hostname does *not* need to be configured if the local
machien hostname can be resolved by Squid during startup. The hostname
RFC requirements are for a host name to have both forward and reverse
DNS records. Any host which is so configured does not need
visible_hostname at all.
Added the following note:
"You can _optionally_ also set a visible_hostname parameter. Usually
this is not necessary; Squid by default will use the machine hostname.
If you have a pool of Squid servers, you may need to set
visible_hostname to prevent forwarding loop errors. In our case, we
chose to set visible_hostname because the machine hostname included our
client's business domain name, and we didn't want that appearing in the
Via http headers sent to external web servers. (This is a special case
for this particular client; this shouldn't be a concern for most
environments.)"
Is that reasonable?
* the logform|at "squid" is p||redefined. Please do not re-define it.
If you need something unusual use a different format name.
|
* |cache_store_log is not useful unless you are debugging the cache
storage.|
Those have been removed.
Thank you for reviewing it.
