traffic spliiting using squid

sunethj · 12-14-2006, 01:03 AM

we are using squid proxy server for web access and we need to access ONE particular site using another proxy server (squid running on port 8080) which is not under our control.

So i need to split traffic using our squid so traffic for other proxy will be redirected to that proxy (port 8080) and other traffic directly to the net via the router.

Please help me on this.

Thanks in advance.

check out the cache_peer_domain option, which forces certain domains via another proxy really easily.

#define a parent proxy
cache_peer 10.10.10.11 parent 8080 0 no-query proxy-only
# set parent to be used for *.example.com
cache_peer_domain 10.10.10.11 .example.com

That means; you proxy server box is not only acting as a proxy server but a router as well. By the way, Do you specify the proxy server address manually in your clients browser or do you run it in a transparent mode ?
