RE: [squid-users] http-accelerator for two servers at the same ti me?

hint: in addition to other tips in response to this message, you have two
options to resolve your beckend servers:

- use a redirector to do URL rewriting as a means of supporting virtual
hosting.
- compile Squid with --disable-internal-dns, because you will likely want to
have your accelerator use /etc/hosts to resolve your backend servers, unless
you have more than a handful, and you need to use dnsserver if you want to
do this. This shouldn't be a big problem in terms of performance because an
accelerator generally almost always uses cached IP lookups. If you decided
not to do this and use DNS instead, you would have to make sure to use a
private DNS for your backend servers, as a means of avoiding a forwarding
loop...

Subject: [squid-users] http-accelerator for two servers at the same
time?

When squid is configured as a http-accelerator, is it possible to cache
multiple servers (e.g. foo.com and bar.com) at the same time?

Thanks.
