I don't know if it'll work tho :) In httpd acceleration mode, squid is designed to accelerate access to a particular http server which you must define: # If you want to run squid as an httpd accelerator, define the # host name and port number where the real HTTP server is. natd needs a special mode for transparent http proxy. Perhaps someone has an enhanced one that does this already? I noticed that ipfilter has an transproxy add-on (see ports). Now we just need something for ipfw + natd. > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > |Daniel O'Connor software and network engineer for Genesis Software | > |http://www.gsoft.com.au | > |The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them to| > |choose from. -- Andrew Tanenbaum | > --------------------------------------------------------------------- Tom To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
