RE: [squid-users] reverse ssl-proxy?

Thanks Henrik.

It would be a proxy for multiple servers. I'm thinking something like 5-10
web service servers. You wouldn't happen to have a sample config file,
would you? I've looked through the docs and it looks like it gets complex
pretty quickly. Do you think it would make sense to use Apache instead with
mod_ssl and mod_rewrite?

thanks again!

Yes.

Yes, but there is restrictions.

If you only have a single intranet web site the setup is relatively
straight forward, but if your reverse proxy needs to merge the content of
several internal web sites then things gets a little complex.
