We do not have multiple domain names pointing to the same IP address, but on the back-end we do have multiple different servers, each reached via the string following the domain, ie: Myweb.com/intranet --> origin intranet server Myweb.com/extranet --> origin extranet server
This is of no relevance to the vhost directive.
vhost only is of relevance to how Squid accepts the requests, not how they are forwarded.
The "vhost" implicitly sets "accel", which is why things were functioning before.
It also makes Squid pick up the hostname from the Host header.
What downsides were there to using vhost instead of accel/defaultsite=?
If there was requests using another Host header then Squid would have picked this up for the host name instead, with whatever effects this would have had on the rest of your configration and/or servers.
Is it just better performance by not checking the host header?
There should not be any difference in performance.
