Thank you for the reply. It appears that I had a IP address typo in one of the cache_peer lines that allowed the requests with /tst/map1 or map2 to slip bye. It appears to be working. I think you confirmed what I'm trying to do should work. One question about your last statement concerning inconsistent domain names. All requests will always start with www.example.com /.... or origin-www.example.com/..... even the ones what I'm trying to send to specific backends using the "limited" acl. Are you saying I should have the following for .4 and .5 instead of what I'm currently using? cache_peer 192.168.1.5 parent 80 0 no-query no-digest connect-fail-limit=10 weight=1 originserver round-robin cache_peer_access 192.168.1.5 allow limited cache_peer_access 192.168.1.5 allow all_requests cache_peer_access 192.168.1.5 deny all I was trying to limit the requests to .4 and .5 to only those that contained /tst/map1 or map2. I thought if I included the "allow all_requests" line in .4 and .5 it would send requests that also did not include /tst/map2 or map2. For example "origin-www.example.com/hello/test/etc" could possibly be sent to .4 and .5 as well. How do I ensure that www.example.com/tst/map1/..... and map2 only go to .4 and .5 while still correctly being consistent with the domain was you suggested. Thanks.
