Name

mcast_miss_addr

Synopsis

The multicast miss stream is a largely undocumented and unsupported Squid feature. The basic idea is to send a multicast message, containing a URI, for each cache miss. The messages are encrypted with a modest algorithm to prevent casual eavesdropping.

To use this feature, you must manually define the MULTICAST_MISS_STREAM preprocessor symbol before compiling Squid. To learn more about this feature, read the source code surrounded by #if MULTICAST_MISS_STREAM in src/access_log.c.
