RE: [squid-users] Squid & squid_session

Ok... so would it be possible to also pass the %SRCPORT variable to
squid_session in addition to %SRC as this will probably be unique in
most cases ?

Thanks
Adam

The problem is that the NAT removes the available per-user uniqueness,
making them all look the same to Squid.

So only if you could figure out what that uniqueness would be. Needs to
be something that uniquely identifies the user to Squid.

%SRC (client source IP) is used in the example for squid_session, as
this is easily identified as an unique identifier in non-NAT:ed client
station networks.
