RE: [squid-users] proxy server ith local addresses (Part 2)

I've just attempted it with lynx which has no proxy specified for it, and that gets access to the internal addresses correctly. There are no firewalls involved either.

I spotted the cache_peer_domain rule in there for altering caching behavour. Adding proxy2.embc.org.uk !.nbcs.net doesnt appear to have any affect on it however. I already have an always_direct acl in place for the domain anyway.

I've noticed that on an unproxyed browser on one of the windows clients, entering email.nbcs.net rather than just email results in a request for user/pass which it should not do. Furthermore intranet.nbcs.net gives me an Under Construction page. After typing http://xxxxx on a proxied browser the failed screen always resolves it to xxxx.nbcs.net. I hope there is a way to prevent that if i manage to get to work correctly as is?

If this is your internal domain and you want users to be able to access
internal servers by short name then yes.

Good.

Make sure there is no firewalling which prevents the Squid server from
going to port 80/443 on those servers.

In addition, if your Squid has parents, make sure it must always go direct
for the local domain(s).

One simple method to verify connectivityu is to try to use a browser
without proxy settings on the Squid server.
