Video cache and anonymous proxy running ad zapper

by Anonymous on 6 Apr 2009
I think I have tried just about everything I could think of to get this to work. Can someone point me in the right direction? I can get the videocache to work, but then the ad zapper does not work.

Distributed System

by Anonymous on 1 Apr 2009
As it seems to be working it is like this: Client -> squid <-> http server Which means the Squid always connects to the http server to get the files. My question is, I would be more scalable if the clients would be able to connect induvidually to the http server. like this: client <-> squid (squid modifies the http url for flv to http server instead of serving it self) client <-> http server (to download content)
