Re: [squid-users] reverse proxy headache

Thanks a lot, it worked!
I had reviewed the ACL syntax and saw that it only accepts one
parameter after the acl type, however it didn't occur to me that that
was the same case with the cache_peer access directive.
The reason to have the regex at the beggining is for it to catch a url
before the dstdomain catch-all does it below (its being sent to a
different server)

Thanks again, regards,
Raymond Hall

PS. Have you tried Varnish? Their site claims its optimized for
reverse proxying, but I didn't find in the dox the subtle
configuration possibilities that squid allows.
