Re: AW: [squid-users] Accelerator Mode with two different ports

Let me rephrase the question:

What URLs do you want the end-users (i.e. browsers) to use for
referring to the two web server instances?

Once you have decided upon this there is two tasks:

1. Make Squid forward the requests to the correct web server according
to your defined URL namespace. How this is done depends a little on
your definition of the URL namespace, but basically any rules are
possible.

2. Make your web servers present the information with correct links to
the information according to your defined URL namespace.

Two examples of URL namespace definitions:

a)

http://www.example.com/ -> web server instance 1
http://www.example.com/pdf/ -> web server instance 2

b)

http://www.example.com/ -> web server instance 1
http://www.example.com:8000/ -> web server instance 2
