[tomamodi]

i have three proxy settings from my isp  
212.26.70.41
212.26.70.48
212.26.70.36
some times one not work we change the next
So how i put this three in squid to go through
thanks

[Ricky]

you can do this by using parent and sibling option
cache_peer 212.26.70.41      parent    3128  no-query
cache_peer 212.26.70.48      sibling   3128  no-query
cache_peer 212.26.70.36         sibling   3128  no-query

well if your isp proxy don't support ICP then you have to specify all as parent

use cache_peer 212.26.70.36         parent   3128  no-query default

(b) Making squid work in Transparent way

Hi Ricky (or anyone else who knows...)

What about this?

Code: [Select]


#  TAG: redirect_rewrites_host_header
#       By default Squid rewrites any Host: header in redirected
#       requests.  If you are running an accelerator then this may
#       not be a wanted effect of a redirector.
#
#Default:
# redirect_rewrites_host_header on


What are the ramifications of leaving this on verses turning it off - both wrt performance and otherwise? Suggestions? Recommendations?

.

[Ricky]

Well i have never altered such.. but wht it says is that turn it off when using accelerater ..

But that is using may !!  well I will look around for it. .if found something important then will tell you!

I am running SQUID Proxy on Redhat 9 Linux. But I am unable to get my POP3 mails through Outlook Express on my Client machine, which is having Win2000. Which Port are used for connecting to POP3 & SMTP mail server? What is the configuration for it(on Linux & Windows). Please help.
Thanks

khanduja.. this is the most common problem which people faced while using squid, you can either make squid completely transparent or do port forwarding only for port 25 and port 110 !

Well what all you need is to dig around this forum! there is lot which has been discussed here already !

Hello to all,
Firstly, thank you everyone for excellent information which you have been posting over the past few months.  They are truely helpful!  I am new to squid and have a couple of quick and general questions before working myself up the ladder:

 I am currently running squid on my laptop (redhat vs. 8.0).  I have set http_port 80.  I currently do not have a network.  Is it still possible to configure squid and my webbrowser to perform caching as I am visiting web pages on my laptop?

I have already tried configuring my webbrowser after I followed the basic recommended changes on the squid.conf file.  In my webbrowser (Mozilla or Netscape) I clicked on Edit --> preferences --> advanced --> proxies and changed http proxy to 192.168.0.1 and the port to 80.  When I click ok and try to open a webpage, I get a "bad request: 400".  

I am probably doing somthing totally wrong, hence I decided to ask you folks.  I just want to know if I can run squid and cache in webpages on a stand alone prior to creating a network.

Thank you all!

by the way, when I run squid I see the following warning:

aclParseIpData: WARNING: Netmask masks away part of the specified IP in '192.168.0.1/255.255.255.0'

what does this mean exactly? now mind you I have the following line on  squid.conf eventhough I dont have a network mynet.  Should I just comment this line out:


                                 acl mynet src 192.168.0.1/255.255.255.0

Thanks again!
