RE: [squid-users] Redirecting Windows Update

Actually, it is a mirror of Microsoft's Update Service. All updates (my
concern is Critical Updates) are downloaded locally and by changing the
"wuserver" registry key on the client machine, they get their critical
updates via MSUS locally. Essentially the same as going out to Microsoft's
servers but saving loads of bandwidth.

Is there a way to redirect a specific URL in squid to a web server inside
the network?

I think you are using two Software Update Services (SUS) installation.

I think that this cannot be done for many reasons:

- SUS doesn't mirror all Windows Update services
- All updates are digitally signed and verified, so you cannot fake the
Windows update site.
