I posted a question yesterday and I dont think I worded it very well.
Im having problems with software updates on Apple computers. I think
it is an issue with my squid proxy server. So I would like to make a
rule set that says redirect all port 80 traffic except traffic going
to apple.com's software update servers. When connecting to apple
software updates you connect to swscan.apple.com which downloads an
xml file, then get redirected to an akamaitechnologies.com server for
the downloads. Im not quite certain yet why things are failing with
my squid proxy server in the loop, but going around it lets the
software updates work. So, if any of the iptables gurus have a
formula for this I would be very happy to try.
thanks,
ddh
