perticular webiste forwarding to destination ip address.
 

Hi guys,
Basically i have constructed an squid proxy server running on RHEL5.2 64 bit.everything is working fine,except that i want to redirect few sites to other intranet destination ipaddress instead of DNS.
How can i do that? is that possible through squid or i need to setup an iptables which will contain string filter and then redirect those particular sites to destination ipaddrress. if it is possible then please help me out.

Advait

You can do that in iptables. Squid is just http proxy. It will always resolve using dns.

particular site redireaction .

Hi Chris
Thanks for ur reply that link helped me a little. but the scenario is little different. what am trying to do is am trying to redirect only 3 websites to a particular ip address. and let other all the websites go to internet through DNS. so i need to do string filtering in iptables. i hv tried doing this but always get the following error.

iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 8080 -m string --string "b2e.group.echonet" -j DNAT --to- 172.17.12.1:8080

error i get is :- iptables v1.3.5: STRING match: You must specify `--algo'
Try `iptables -h' or 'iptables --help' for more information.


please help,
