Hi, This is kind of driving me crazy. I've been trying to get transparent caching to work for the last 2 days without success. I am only posting to get help after I read so much on this and I think I quite understand what needs to be done but still DG/SQUID do not see the traffic. Ok, so I have a RHEL ES 4 box running DansGuardian and Squid. DG listening on 8080 and squid on 3128. I have a Cisco 3640 with wccp enabled. Router can see the cache and traffic redirection on the router is working fine and it gets all the way to the DG/squid box and is actually being decapsulated (can see that through ethereal). I am using the ip_wccp mod. I also have the required iptables rule in place to redirect traffic to DG port 8080. Here's the output of iptables -t nat -L: Chain PREROUTING (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination REDIRECT tcp -- anywhere anywhere tcp dpt:http redir ports 8080 Chain POSTROUTING (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination If I manuallay setup my browser to point directly to DG:8080, everything works nicely which tells me DG and squid are able to work together ok in both direction. I think the problem is somehow traffic is not getting redirected to port 8080 after being decapsulated. Any ideas why? I have ip forwarding enabled. Also, here are the relevent settings of DG: filterip = 127.0.0.1 filterport = 8080 proxyip = 127.0.0.1 proxyport = 3128 and squid: http_port 3128 acl localhost src 127.0.0.1/255.255.255.255 http_access allow localhost httpd_accel_host virtual httpd_accel_port 80 httpd_accel_single_host off httpd_accel_with_proxy on httpd_accel_uses_host_header on wccp_router 80.246.48.1 wccp_version 4 from the router: LOLROUTER#show ip wccp web-cache Global WCCP information: Router information: Router Identifier: 80.246.49.5 Protocol Version: 1.0 Service Identifier: web-cache Number of Cache Engines: 1 Number of routers: 1 Total Packets Redirected: 1478790 Redirect access-list: www Total Packets Denied Redirect: 0 Total Packets Unassigned: 0 Group access-list: -none- Total Messages Denied to Group: 0 Total Authentication failures: 0 LOLROUTER#show ip wccp web-cache detail WCCP Cache-Engine information: Web Cache ID: 0.0.0.0 Protocol Version: 0.4 State: Usable Initial Hash Info: 00000000000000000000000000000000 00000000000000000000000000000000 Assigned Hash Info: FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF Hash Allotment: 256 (100.00%) Packets Redirected: 219 Connect Time: 01:56:26 Any help is much appreciated.
