RE: [squid-users] Multiple hosts accelerated via hosts-header

I apologize for re-sending this. My ISP screwed up our incoming mail for a couple days, and I wasn't sure if I got many replies. I did get one each from Henrik and Jon Knepher and am looking over those.

Thanks much,

I've searched the mailing lists, and can't find anything similar to my needs, but I gotta assume Squid can do this thing I need. :)

At home I run an IIS server, but I also have a few other services running on that machine that each have their own embedded web server running. So, obviously, they all run on different ports. Rather than opening up dozens of holes in my firewall, I'd like to setup a proxy between the outside world and this machine. I was thinking I could use host-headers to determine which port a request gets redirected to. So, for example, my home automation software runs on port 8000. I'd like to be able to go to, say, http://homeauto.myhost.com and get to the services offered there, rather than http://www.myhost.com:8000. I also have been playing with Apache/PHP on another box running Linux. I'd like to, for example, go to http://php.myhost.com to access the Linux box, while www.myhost.com accesses the IIS box. As this is a home network, I only have access to one IP, unfortunately...

I also may have need coming up at the office for a similar setup. I have an application we're looking at that would require it's own box, but management wants it accessible via the web without any special instructions. I also don't want another port open on the firewall.

Well, that's it. Hopefully, that all made sense. If not, just ask, I'll be sure to clarify. :)

Thanks,
