RE: [squid-users] Multiple NIC's and Squid.

Looks like a routing issue. Use of policy based routing might help.

Subject: [squid-users] Multiple NIC's and Squid.

Hi,

I have a Squid server running as a proxy that has multiple Nic's and I
notice Squid always users the highest Nic, in my case with three cards
eth2, to fetch pages regardless of the interface that the request came
in on. Is it possible to force Squid to fetch the request using the same
interface that the request came in on?

This is to facilitate accounting.

I have seen articles in the archives referring to similar but not
identical issues indicating that this may be being implemented.

Thanks.
