RE: [squid-users] Reverse Proxy Multiple IP Addresses

Thanks.

I'm replying so this gets put in the archives.

I think you also need to add something about the PID in the conf file so
squid will run under a different PID #

Hi,

Reassign the ips of the real servers.

Configure the squid server to listen to the 3 ips this has to be done in
your OS.

If you can just set http_port to 80 squid will listen and answer all
requests on all interfaces/ips.

if not set http_port like so:

http_port 172.16.0.2:80 172.16.0.3:80 172.16.0.4:80

If the squid is set up correctly and you don't have too many dynamic
objects one dedicated squid and one dedicated apache will handle the
load fine.

If not you will need to set up 3 dns records for all the accelerated
servers and use round robin LB.

like so:

accelhost 172.16.0.5
accelhost 172.16.0.6
accelhost 172.16.0.7

then set

httpd_accel_host accelhost

I had some issues with the round robin LB but I was trying o do it with
the hosts file so you should look into this.

Good Luck,
Jerry
