RE: [squid-users] Reverse proxy using 2.6 with multiple domainconfiguration

If it is configured to operate in reverse proxy, it should not serve request that come without HOST header, should it? Perhaps it is just a matter of opinion. I want to reserve my resource and only serve when I really need.

If I configure more than one domains in the box (reverse proxy mode), if the parent of one domain is not available, the squid takes initiative and use the parent of the other domains! That sounds like mixing up contents and we can end up make the customer mad. Just imagine that you are hosting both abc news and cbs news from one box, and you end up serving cbs news for request asking abc news if the origin server of cbs news is not available. Maybe people don't care, as long as they get a page, they are happy! But I think content integrity is very important, it is rather to serve the right content or not serve at all.

Another comment: I would recommend adding a defaultsite= to the
http_port line, defining which site HTTP/1.0 clients not sending Host
headers should see..
