Apache as Proxy Server

[TheBublitz]

I wan't to use apache as a proxy server. I have it working at the moment.

The way I have it setup it will block ALL internet requests. What I want to add then is a couple sites that are ok i.e intranet sites. I can't find a statment to use along site "ProxyBlock *" to allow some sites. Its easier this way then to specify all domains on the internet lol.

<IfModule mod_proxy.c>
ProxyRequests On
<Proxy *>
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
Allow from (lan)
</Proxy>
</IfModule>
ProxyBlock *

Why aren't you using squid as proxy?

Well I have squid installed also.

But im having problems with that also.

Eveything is up and running but....

If I type

http://web/

I get an error

While trying to retrieve the URL:

http://web/

The following error was encountered:

Unable to determine IP address from host name for web
The dnsserver returned:

Server Failure: The name server was unable to process this query.
This means that:

The cache was not able to resolve the hostname presented in the URL.
Check if the address is correct.

BUT if I type the full name

http://web.domain.com

it works just fine even tho on command prompt of server ping web.

ping web

Pinging web.domain.com [10.56.20.45] with 32 bytes of data:

Ping statistics for 10.56.20.45:
Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 4, Lost = 0 (0% loss),
Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
Minimum = 10ms, Maximum = 13ms, Average = 11ms

So I know dns is working because it converting the web to the web.domain.com I also checked the host dns table and the right host entry is added.

So I seem to be screwed either way.

Not using the squid proxy

http://web/

works just fine.
