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

Hi,

Thanks ever so much for the Info, but I need to change the way this
works because
The access to the other proxy is actually obtained through another
gateway, and
Of course you can not have more than 1 default gateway on a box.

So what I would like to do is to setup Squid Box 1 to redirect any
traffic
for companydomain.com to Squid Box 2. Squid Box 2 will then proxy the
normal way.

Thanks ever so much

Chris

How ?

Something like this should work:

cache_peer proxy-jp.your.domain parent jpproxyportnumber 0 no-query acl
intranet dstdomain intranet.your.domain cache_peer_access allow
proxy-jp.your.domain never_direct allow intranet

You need to replace proxy-jp.your.domain, jpproxyportnumber,
intranet.your.domain with values suitable for your setup.

Regards
Henrik
