Re: [squid-users] Change tcp_outgoing_address every hour, best way to do this?

Ah - this is what I was "looking" for....makes me wonder...i might change
my setup :)

So tcp_outgoing_address supports ACL's tagged to it, so you could have
something like....

acl morning time 06:00-11:59
acl afternoon time 12:00-18:00
acl night time 18:00-06:00

tcp_outgoing_address 1.2.3.4 morning # IP used in the morning
tcp_outgoing_address 1.2.3.4 afternoon # IP used in the afternoon
tcp_outgoing_address 1.2.3.4 night # IP used in the night

Cheers,

Pieter
