HELP! Squid proxy is getting me down...

[Crayon Shin Chan]

So I want to capture a specific domain name that will go through the Squid proxy, and instead of going to the real domain on the internet, redirect it to a little text file somewhere on the proxy server.

So far, so good, right? Well, no. Does squid have a function for doing something like that? The closest I've got is replacing the error pages with the contents of the text file I wanted to redirect to, but even then squid appends some "generated %date% by %hostname% (squid)" line at the bottom with HTML that I simply have no idea where to turn off (the squid.conf file is a cesspool, the authors have never heard of a manpage I'm sure).

So I've just come here to ask how to keep it simple - I'm pretty sure a proxy as full featured as squid has a redirect to a different file option, or at least an option to turn of the HTML line at the bottom of an error page. What are these options?

EDIT: Or is there another lighter proxy server that can do the same thing?

You might want to look at how Dan's Guardian ties in to Squid, intercepts requests and blocks them. It sounds as if you are trying to do something similar to that.
