Re: [squid-users] 2 WAN links on the same squid machine

Mr Collins,

Got the 2.5 version, and checked out the TOS directive. However, the
comments on it are not that insightful to me so maybe you can help me;

  This is the directive description

# acl normal_service_net src 10.0.0.0/255.255.255.0
# acl good_service_net src 10.0.1.0/255.255.255.0
# tcp_outgoing_tos 0x00 normal_service_net 0x00
# tcp_outgoing_tos 0x20 good_service_net

 So, let's suppose that I have one internal network interface addressed
10.40.50.1, and two external NICs, one for each WAN link, addressed
200.160.107.129 and 130, normal and good service links, respectively.

  The acl 'normal_service_net' describes the net who will use the normal
quality link and the 'good_service_net' describes the net that'll use the
good quality link', I believe.
Then the following flags 'mark', the traffic

 # tcp_outgoing_tos 0x00 normal_service_net 0x00
# tcp_outgoing_tos 0x20 good_service_net

But how exactly the traffic from, say, good_service_net is forwarded to the
good quality link NIC or to the good quality link router, or am I getting
it all wrong?

Thank you so much for the attention.

Well, grab 2.5, and look at the squid.conf.default. Also, please keep
the thread on-list.

Cheers,
