Chapter 5 Using the Command-Line Interface
91
Examples
The following rule sets up a parent proxy hierarchy consisting of the
appliance (which is the child) and two parents,
p1
and
p2
. All
get
requests, if they cannot be served by the appliance, are routed to the first
parent server,
p1.x.com
. If they are not in the first parent server, they are
routed to the second parent server,
p2.y.com
. Because
round_robin=true
, the parent servers are queried in a round-robin
fashion.
The following rule tells the appliance to route all requests containing the
regular expression
politics
and the path /
viewpoint
directly to the
origin server (bypassing any parent hierarchies).
Every rule must contain either a
parent=
or
go_direct=
directive.
