Sure, I was a bit vague. I am sorry.

This is a forward proxy for LAN -> Internet.

I want to serve only three urls, both hosted
on the Squid box itself:

http://webmail.domain.name
https://webmail.domain.name
http://manager.domain.name

All other requests for pages on the Internet will be redirected to
one of the webmail.domain.name.

| a) Do you want Squid to ignore the hostname component of received URLs

Yes. Kind of, but please refer to (0) above.

| b) Do you want to redirect the user to a specific page unless the URL is
| for that server?

No.

| c) As 'b' but without a redirect just rewriting the requested URL on the
| fly. Requires the redirection page to use absolute URLs as the browser
| is unaware the URL has been changed under it's feets.

Not sure if this applies to my need :-)

Thanks in advance
