I'm attempting to configure squid as an accelerator. The part
that is complicating issues is that I would like to do the opposite of
virtual hosting. What we want to do is combine multiple servers under
one host name.
http://public_server/application1 --> http://server1/
http://public_server/application2 --> http://server2/
http://public_server/application3 --> http://server3:8080/
http://public_server/application4 --> http://server4/app
It is my understanding that squid requires an external application to
handle this. I am able to make squidGuard do one to one mapping but I
can not find any examples of how to configure this type of mapping.
It appears that jesres is supposed to do this sort of thing as
well. Would this be a better solution? squidGuard was able to redirect
requests with little effort, a quick setup of jesred produced no joy for
me.
