The way I had it realised was that you configure all your web servers
(including virtual) to a DNS A record of the address of squid.
Example:
Squid server is at 195.10.10.1
I setup my dns for my apache dns that has 5 virtual domains as:
www.domain1.com A 195.10.10.1
www.domain2.com A 195.10.10.1
www.domain3.com A 195.10.10.1
www.domain4.com A 195.10.10.1
www.domain5.com A 195.10.10.1

Apache is configured with virtualhost support and configured ok!

I move Apache from 195.10.10.1:80 to 127.0.0.1:80

I also have www.domain6.com which is IIS and is at 192.168.10.20
So I change the DNS to point to:
www.domain6.com A 195.10.10.1

What I understand is that I go into /etc/hosts and add...
www.domain1.com 127.0.0.1
www.domain2.com 127.0.0.1
www.domain3.com 127.0.0.1
www.domain4.com 127.0.0.1
www.domain5.com 127.0.0.1
www.domain6.com 192.168.10.20

Then whenever squid accept a request will lookup /etc/hosts and will fetch
the page and display it.
But if someone ask http://195.10.10.1 I need a httpd_accel_host to point to
195.10.10.1 so that something will be displayed. Otherwise he will get a
connection refused or something...

Am I getting this right or is it just plain science fiction ;-?

Thanks,
Spyros
