Hello,

Who wants to shine some light here:

I have an application A that connects directly to say application B at
port 1234. B is a proxy program that forwards the message further to
other processes.

A ---> B (1234)

Now I want to use squid to have a proxy in between

A ---> squid (3128) ---> B (1234)

I can tell A to contact another proxy instead; suppose I use squid.
How can I configure squid so it will forward the request to B (1234).
In other words: how do I set routing within squid?

Squid is not the holy grail for me here. If some other proxy process
can do this I will be happy as well. Thanks a lot.

Best Regards,
Ton 't Lam
