2 questions on mod_proxy on 1.3.26

Hi,

I don't know if i have the right list but i hope someone can help me.

First, can you put decimal value like 0.1 for CacheMaxExpire and
CacheDefaultExpire?

Second, we have 1 proxy server with the caching directives(P) + 2 back-end
servers (BE1,BE2) and a black box (BB) who make a round-robin. The setting
is like that:

|---> BE1
Client --> P --> BB ---|
|---> BE2

1) The client in is browser use the URL: http://mydomain.com
2) The proxy is using VIP ip address supply by the black black.
3) When the request arrive on the black box, it make a round-robin between
BE1
and BE2.

My test: If the first request goes to the BE1, all other requests going to
BE1 work
fine, but all who go to BE2 don't work, we got bad gateway
error 502. Is it normal this
setting is not working? The first line in the file cache is an
alpha-numerical string,
is this string containning a reference to the host? err, what
this string represent?

Thanks!

Because the proxy only sees a single host (the black box), I would doubt
it's the proxy - I would check your black box setup works by accessing
it directly with a browser.

It represents the URL of the resource.
