Why should I use all directives for configuring a reverse proxy, if it
works with the setup explained above?
Or, am I missing something important here?
Yes. Transparent/intercept only works in the presence of NAT.
It also is not possible to perform any form of authentication, HTTPS, or
request modification without causing major problems to anyone who visits
the site.
All the old problems squid 2.5 has with virtual hosted domains, broken
client software, DNS loops, and request forwarding loops can be tracked
back to the reverse-accelerator mode using the transparent intercept
mode like you describe.
Thanks for a good explanation.
