Hi,

I have an linux box installed with squid and mail-server and its act as gateway servers for the lan. I was thinking about to install privoxy to block access to adult site and pop-up. So i install squid in one of the LAN computer (ubuntu 5.10) and adding privoxy for testing.

At first everything work fine on the test box (ubuntu). But then i accidently delete the squid.conf file >"<. So i just reinstall the squid and get back the default squid.conf . Then i found i can only assign http_port to 0.0.0.0 (ie. all addresses) and I can't specify a particular address like 192.168.1.6:8080 . I try restart and force-reload both don't work out.

I have to restart squid on the gateway server to allow the internal squid to assign 192.168.1.6:8080 correctly (its sort of chained squids). I am not sure if its all because the squid(on gateway server) not refreshing page within localnet.

Besides, is there anyway to force squid to retrieve a particular web address without caching it?
