Re: [squid-users] Squid3: vhost reverse proxy/accel bw extender

OK, I think I'm just about done with this. I can handle requests for fixed-
ip and virtual ip-based hosts on different networks and servers but not name-
based virtual hosts using:

http_port ip:80 vhost defaultsite=www.mymaindomain.com

cache_peer origin-host-ip parent 80 0 no-query originserver
name=vhost1.domain.tld ; virtual name-based host #1

cache_peer origin-host-ip parent 80 0 no-query originserver
name=vhost2.domain.tld ; virtual name-based host #2

acl vhost1acl dstdomain vh1-via.mymaindomain.com
acl vhost2acl dstdomain vh2-via.mymaindomain.com

cache_peer_access vhost1.domain.tld allow vhost1acl
cache_peer_access vhost2.domain.tld allow vhost2acl

And, dns has CNAME records for both vh1-via.mymaindomain.com and vh2-
via.mymaindomain.com pointing to www.mymaindomain.com.

Unfortunately, it doesn't work resulting in the following access log entry:

1060286004.770 8 browser.ip TCP_MISS/200 1471 GET http://vh1-
via.mymaindomain.com/ - FIRST_UP_PARENT/origin-host-ip text/html

So it looks as if the acl is working OK to provide the originserver ip
address but the virtual site host name is not being provided.

How do I get this to happen? Suggestions?

Thanks.
