[cobalt-developers] Forcing Qube3 webcache to use an external content filter

["Leland J. Steinke" <steinkel-cobalt@xxxxxx>]

I still need to test it more, but it's looking promising that adding
these two lines in the appropriate locations to an otherwise unmodified
/etc/squid/squid.conf file will make the Qube use an external web
content filter for http (and maybe https), such as
surfwatch/surfcontrol.

>> cache_peer <content filter IP> parent 80 0 no-query default
>> never_direct allow all

If you try this out, don't forget to make a backup copy of your
squid.conf file.  As I said, I've only done cursory testing on the
bench.  I will be fielding it next week for a customer who knows that
they're a guinea pig.


Have fun,
Leland
