I am working onn adding Squid to my Zope setup to speed things up, but am wondering abour the URL's.

In many parts of the site, and even in the default setup of CMF for example, absolute URL functions are used.

Now, this becomes a problem if I want to run Squid on a separate machine, since I'm guessing Zope will guess it's URL as being different from what is being used by the user.

If I have http://mydomain.com setup as the Squid cache, but the Zope site actually lives at http://nocache.mydomain.com , Zope will give URL outputs as the "nocache" version, which is a problem, since I want Zope to *think* it's actually on mydomain.com ...

Has anybody run into this problem ? How do I get around it ? For my own stuff it's easy enough, but in the case of CMF content, it's a problem since a lot of the skin stuff uses absolute paths ....

You need a doze of "VirtualHostMonster". Install an instance in your root and call it "vhm" or somesuch (not important) and then set up your proxy/cahce server to call it via one of those stranges url's explained in the vhm's readme. regards Max M
