Okay, what I've done is I've setup a very basic Squid accel setup according to the instructions. I have my main server hosted elsewhere, I have a local server setup for Squid accel. Now the only part I'm still confused is this part "To test your reverse proxy implementation you must set up Squid the same way it would be configured for production, except that the public DNS setting should no be pointing at it. You can configure test machine ‘s /etc/hosts file to send the requests directly to IP of squid instead of weberserver’ s IP. If everything goes OK, you should update the public DNS to send public requests to the Squid proxy instead of the web server and Acceleration will start instantly." My question is, how do I "update the public DNS to send public requests to the Squid proxy instead of the web server"? Where in ubuntu do I change this? -- View this message in context: http://squid-web-proxy-cache.1019090.n4.nabble.com/Squid-Reverse-Proxy-cannot-open-ports-tp4661107p4661134.html Sent from the Squid - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
