Re: [squid-users] Squid and local names

Ok, I feel like a goof. I put in a firewall rule to forward all port 80
requests to 3128. I just put a new rule in (right before it) to tell it
to accept connections on port 80, that are destined for the local ip
address. So, if I put "NIN" in my adress bar, or any urls associated
with it, they stay local... everything else goes through the cache.
Perfect... sorry to bug you folks. I am really impressed with Squid.
Now, only if I can get some peer caches going ... hmmm...
