Re: [squid-users] Multiple http servers behind a single squid

Henrik,

Let's say my internet domain name is testme.com, but my web server is
actually running behind a firewall with internal ip address such as
192.168.2.200.

How do I setup squid so that it would direct http call from tomle.com to
192.168.2.200? Using localhost file?
