irst off, I'm new at this and I'm not a sysadmin so I may have overlooked/not understood how to do this based on the squid.confdocumentation. I'm on a corporate network behind a proxy that requires authentication, i'm using squid so that I don't have to go throught the head ache of configuring the authorization for each app. I've done the following (with my appropriate domain of course) acl local-servers dstdomain .foo.net acl all src 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0 never_direct deny local-servers never_direct allow all And everything works great, however when I try to use yum it tries to go direct and not through the parent.
