Squid reverse proxy with 2 nics

jonfa · 03-22-2007, 09:12 AM

Hi All,

I am attempting to setup a Squid reverse proxy on Centos 4.4 that uses 2 nics. One in and the other out. I have the first nic [IN] set to 192.168.1.2 and the second nic to 192.168.3.1 [OUT].

I am trying get the incoming traffic on port 80 directed at 192.168.1.2 to be redirected to nic #2 with the address 192.168.3.1.

I editted my /etc/sysctl.conf file to read:

net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1

What else am I missing? Do I need to setup a route rule?

Thanks.

edit ur squid.conf with the following entries
http_port 80 (listening port for your web server)
httpd_accel_host example.com (URL of your website)
httpd_accel_port 80

edit /etc/hosts in your squid box
and add your website name and private ip of your webserver
privateipofwebserver example.com
then restart network and squid services
