RE: [squid-users] Squid on a ppp box

Hi Gert

Thanks for you reply, I really appreciate it.
But my next question, it then. Will no errors be displayed etc, due to not
dns querys been resolved or no internet connection available.

Is there not a patch or a script to tell squid that the connection it not
available, or down etc.
For example (I know the two are different, but this is just an example)
A while ago I used qmail for my ppp box, I had to patch qmail and setup a
script in the ip-up.d (or down) that would tell
qmail that the link is, going down.

I know my example it a bit, lame and that im probally comparing apple to
pears, but im just trying to get all the info I can
before I try and make mission of trying to setup squid.

I do have wwwoffle on my box current;y, which works fantasticlly, but there
is no challenge in setting up the off line
cache \ proxy server

Kind Regards and thanks once again

Brent Clark

Hi There

Setting it up for a ppp line is not much different. Ensure to run squid on
0.0.0.0 and not an ip address, to make it easier to work. Try and find a
cache server for your ISP, and use that as your parent server.

Let us know if you have any specific problems
