The howtos I have read are just not clear enough for me about the redirector script/program needed to rewrite URLs. Must I install a program like Squirm or pyredir just to change incoming requests for 'http://mysite.com' to 'http://123.45.678.9:81/somedir'? Or can this be done with one line in squid.conf (I hope)?
If all you do is redirect a few hosts and your rewriting needs are simple there is no need for a redirector. Simply do this: - in the /etc/hosts of your Squid machine set the IP address for the hostname you're dealing with to the internal address where Zope listens - put a VirtualHostMonster in the root of your ZODB and use the "Mappings" tab to define a simple mapping like... www.myhostname.com /path/to/site voila. jens
