Hi,

I've just installed Squid on a machine an it runs perfectly.

Here's my network design

192.168.10.115
-> the main Proxy IP ( 50 - 100 computer will be told to use this ip )
-> Only Proxy but do not cache
-> Only cache on other server ( 192.168.10.116,192.168.10.117 etc )
-> If received request from client, it will check the cached object from other server, if there's no cache obj exist, it will cache on the server )


192.168.10.116
- receive connection from 192.168.10.115 only
- cache server only ( storage farm )


192.168.10.117
- receive connection from 192.168.10.115 only
- cache server only ( storage farm )

192.168.10.118
- receive connection from 192.168.10.115 only
- cache server only ( storage farm )

The goal is so that box on 192.168.10.115 only proxy but do not cache and fill up all available storage in other server.

Can anyone give a simple squid.conf for each server ?

Thank you.

never_direct allow all

@192.168.10.116, .117, .118
Configure a normal squid proxy with regular configuration with also an acl to allow access only to 192.168.10.115

Things you should keep an eye of are
* you should not have never_direct allow all configuration at any of caching proxies.
* All the caching proxy should be able to resolve dns-queries & able to access internet on their own from their own boxes.

Thats it !

Got a query.. repost.
