Proxy Chaining with Squidby Jeffrey P. BighamThis article describes how to set up Squid to be one of the links in a proxy chain. That is, all requests input to our invocation of Squid will be forwarded on to another proxy, perhaps after we do some processing on them. There are a number of reasons why would you want to do that instead of just directing the request to the proxy down the line in the first place. The first is that you might want to use a local proxy to cache requests and you know that accessing that local proxy is much faster than accessing the next proxy down the line. The second is maybe you want to use a Squid-style redirect program to transparently rewrite some URLs before passing them on to another proxy. |
