Hi all. The basic configuration is as follows (1) (2) (3) (4) Users -------- switch -------- (eth2 ------ eth0) ------ WWW Users located in (1) will access WWW via http Apache server in (3). For non-transparent proxy, every user across the proxy has to set up proxy configuration by putting proxy IP address. Again, I just want to make users access WWW without the setup. In other words, (3) proxy should be transparent. For example, if I only need a proxy for general usage(e.g.caching), I may be able to use Squid software, not Apache. However, my intention of the proxy is more than that. Currently I am using mod_proxy_http where I put some code for looking at each html data and modify it if necessary. Of course, I have added other functionality too. Is this enough information to answer to my question? Thanks in advance.
