For years i have been using the apache proxy directives to forward traffic to various webservers (apaches & tomcats). These webservers run on various non default ports, it is not possible to let all of them listen on the same port as defined in squid.conf ,or at least run on the same port as the accelerated port
It is possible.
Now the acceleration mechanisme works for default stuff. for example if a user would use the following URL's in their browsers. www.example.org > www.trueserver.org (works) www.example.org:8080 > www.trueserver.org:8080 (works) but www.example.org > www.trueserver.org:57007 is not working.
In an accelerator you do this either witn an redirector rewriting the accelerated URL adding the correct port number or by cache_peer based forwarding of the requests.
I can also recommend looking into the related (commercial) offerings by MARA Systems.
