First of all I am not sure if this is a squid problem but it is where the errors are so I will start here. I have a fc3 box with squid 2.5.11, dg 2.8.0, and shorewall 2.4.2. I have routing and everything working great with an external interface(eth0), dmz(eth1),and 2 internal lans(eth3,4) Here is my problem. I am trying to make this a transparent proxy. I am going to take dans out of the loop and do all testing direct to 3128. My shorewall rule is REDIRECT Ol:10.20.0.19 3128 tcp www - !10.10.1.2 I am only forwarding 1 machine for testing. If I set my browser to directly connect to the proxy everything outside the firewall works great, but the server on my dmz gets a (111) connection refused error. If I use shorewall to direct my machine the server on my dmz works fine, but I get this error when I try and access anything outside my box. The requested URL could not be retrieved While trying to retrieve the URL: http://yahoo.com/ The following error was encountered: Unable to determine IP address from host name for yahoo.com The dnsserver returned: Name Error: The domain name does not exist. This means that: The cache was not able to resolve the hostname presented in the URL. Check if the address is correct. Your cache administrator is root. I have googled this thing to death for the last 2 weeks, tried varius lug groups and I am not making any ground. The only difference I see is in the squid access log is the none and direct with an ip address. TCP_MISS/503 1466 GET http://mozilla.com/ - NONE/- text/html is from the shorewall directed machine TCP_MISS/301 583 GET http://mozilla.com/ - DIRECT/207.126.111.202 text/html is from the browser pointed machine.
