RE: [squid-users] Redirecting Squid traffic to another Proxy. How ?

Jason,

I think this looks like what I am looking for. I assume the
proxy.in.japan is
The part that can be replaced by my company's internal domain name, and
the
Ip-address/netmask in the acl should be replaced by the Proxy box's IP
in Japan.

Anyone have any thoughts if stuff will work ??

Thanks
Chris

How ?

hmmm. Never actually done this before, but I believe it is accomplished
like this:

cache_peer proxy.in.japan sibling 3128 0 no-query
acl intranet dst ip-address/netmask
cache_peer_access proxy.in.japan allow intranet cache_peer_access
proxy.in.japan deny all

You could also do the acl by domain name if that is easier.

I'd be curious to know if this works. If someone sees an error, please
post.

Cheers,
--Jason
