One more question. In my case port 80 is redirected to 3128 to use squid transperent proxy. Will squid access.log file collect data transfer from port used by Kazza, Instant Messenger? This diff. in data transfer might be due to data uploading from ports used by Kazza, IM, etc. Please guide. Thanks for support. --- Adam Aube <aaube01@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > ads squid wrote: > > > I am using squid 2.5 STABLE on Redhat Linux 9 > working > > fine.
