Hi, I am looking into the possibility of using Squid in combination with a URL redirector in front of a number of IIS servers with private IP addresses. Our current setup is based on an MS 2.0 Proxy that is publishing a number of websites to the internet, and is also serving as a proxy server to the internal LAN. We will soon be moving the webservers to a DMZ protected by a 2.4/iptables linux box. However, because of a lack of internet IP addresses, many websites will still be *virtually* housed on the same IP address (ie. the address of the firewall). Hence I find myself in need of a reverse proxy capable of interpreting HTTP host headers and proxying traffic to various protected 172.16.0.0 servers accordingly. The following web page mentions a number of URL redirectors for Squid, some of which appear to be very interesting (other seem to be aimed at content blocking, which is not what I'm after): http://mail.linuxmall.com/squid/related-software.html My questions are: - Do you have any experience with any of these, any preferences ? I am particularly interested in Squirm, JesRed, or Squidgard. (Note that Security & speed are major concerns - hence I don't think that a perl script based redirector-1.1 will be up for the job). Which one do you prefer ? - I don't intend to do any actual caching since there are no performance problems on the webservers, only a shortage of IP addresses. Should I reconsider ? - Proxying of HTTPS requests must be possible. - The firewall will probably not be used as a regular proxy server for the internal LAN. However, if I wanted to do this in the future, is it possible to combine the publishing feature (this is MS Proxy 2.0/ISA server terminology) with regular proxying for the LAN ? - Would it be a smart move to run two copies of squid on a host: a regular proxy for the LAN and a reverse proxy for the webservers ? - Are there any non Squid-based options I should consider ? Thanks in advance, Filip
