HI there, I most probably screwed it up somewhere by either misreading/misunderstanding something when I've setup my transparent proxy, hence the reason why I'm turning to all you guru's folks over here. The problem is that I think my proxy server is going directly for each site and not checking the cache first each time I either try and download something or when opening a new page. I've checked the log file and its definitely caching the new pages when I visit them; it's just not giving them to me out of the cache when I go there the second time. Everything works 100% the moment I specify the proxy server manually in my browser. The way I've tested this was to download a 1m file. First I specified the proxy manually and on this attempt when I downloaded it the second time it came from the cache. But when I tried it transparently it downloaded the file again directly from the site although I did see the entry pop up in my access.log file. Here's my setup ================ I'm running squid-2.5.STABLE7 iptables v1.2.8 <Squid BOX> iptables v1.2.11 <Firewall Box> IPTABLES: Firewall Box: iptables -t mangle -A PREROUTING -j ACCEPT -p tcp --dport 80 -s 193.219.214.12 iptables -t mangle -A PREROUTING -j MARK --set-mark 3 -p tcp -s 10.6.0.0/24 --dport 80 ip rule add fwmark 3 table 2 ip route add default via 193.219.214.12 dev eth2 table 2 Squid Box: iptables -A PREROUTING -t nat -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port 3128 Squid Confic File: httpd_accel_host virtual httpd_accel_port 80 httpd_accel_with_proxy on httpd_accel_uses_host_header on acl staff src 10.6.0.0/24 http_access allow bbi Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
