Re: [SQU] Virtual Host question

There are two types of virtual hosts:

a) IP based where each site has it's own IP address. This is
httpd_accel_host virtual in squid.conf, and requires an IP for each site
to be configured on the Squid server and a redirector helper to rewrite
this IP to the backend server.

b) Host/domain based. This is enabled by httpd_accel_uses_host_header in
squid.conf.
