Squid cache_peer interesting issue
 

Hi All

here's an interesting one for someone to grind there teeth on

i have 2 squid proxy's, proxy1 and proxy2
i want all traffic to go through proxy1 except video sites like youtube

the following config only 50% works with some youtube ect stuff still going through proxy1, (i.e. i see youtube data on proxy1 and proxy2)

cheers

Steve

Should the following


be

Or even better

with the file /etc/squid/youtube-domains containing

I am assuming the current method is redefining the list youtube with each line rather than adding to the list.

cache_peer
 

that indeed would be a much neater way of doing things
thanks :-)

but it has the same result

I did some checking and the way you have them to add individually will work.

When you get sites accessed through proxy 1 what are you getting in the log entries for proxy 1 ?

not enough coffee
 

well i slept on it came in this-morning grabbed a cup of coffee
and looked at the logs

and i noticed that i was missing a key detail on proxy1!! DEFAULT_PARENT/10.0.0.27

basically its working, and just logging that the parent is doing the work :-)

i have simplified my config to the following

acl youtube dstdomain "/etc/squid/video-domains"
cache_peer 10.0.0.27 parent 8080 0 no-query default
never_direct allow youtube

thanks for your help, ill sleep on it next time ;-)

I'm glad you got it working. What was the default parent option that was missing off proxy 1 ?
