To find what options a Squid-2.5 or later is compiled with all you need to
do is to run "squid -v". This will also tell you the exact version of
Squid used.

cache_peer ...
'originserver' causes this parent peer to be contacted as
a origin server. Meant to be used in accelerator setups.
http_port ... (and https_port)
vhost Accelerator mode using Host header for virtual
