Squid and REMOTE_ADDR

Posted by c0bra, 06-21-2007, 07:36 PM

I'm aware the REMOTE_ADDR revealed in Squid needs to be a legitimate IP address to communicate properly across the internet. But I'd like Squid to use and publically reveal a different IP address than the default system IP address on our proxy servers. Does anyone know if its possible to make the Squid REMOTE_ADDR use a different IP address on the system other than default. I've defined a different IP address and port for http_port at the top of the squid.conf file. And I can connect to this IP address and Port successfully. But when I run the connection through an IP address checker, or session environment test, it reveals the actual system IP address and not the http_port IP address. Any ideas?
