The configuration of multiple Caching Proxy instances supports binding on different IP and Port pairs
 Technote (troubleshooting)
 
Problem(Abstract)
The description for configuring multiple proxy instances in the "Caching Proxy Administration Guide" topic is not accurate. This document omits the fact that you must run multiple instances of Caching Proxy on different IP or alias address and port pairs.
 
Resolving the problem
To support multiple Caching Proxy instances, each binding IP address and listening port pair (HostName/IP, PORT) must be unique. You must enable the BindSpecific directive in the configuration files.
Additionally, when multiple instances of the proxy are running on a single system, you must define the following directives for each proxy instance:

  • *Port: The listening ports for each proxy instance.
  • HostName: The binding IP address for each proxy instance. If the HostName directive is not defined in the configuration file, the proxy binds to all of the available IP addresses.
  • ServerRoot: The home directory for each proxy instance.
  • PidFile: The process ID file for each proxy instance. This directive applies to Linux and UNIX® operating systems only.
  • The log file directives: The logging files location for each proxy instance. (Log, LogArchive, LogFileFormat, LogToGUI, LogToSyslog.)
