I see roughtly the same thing Daniel sees. Before manually configuring the server, there are no GRE interfaces. When you enter modprobe ip_gre, a gre0 interface is created. Attempting to use that interface with a ip tunnel add gre0... command yields a no buffer space available. As a result, ip tunnel add gre1... or, in my case: ip tunnel add wccp mode gre remote <my router> dev etho ifconfig wccp 127.0.0.2 up iptables -t nat -F iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i wccp -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRET --to-ports 3128 iptables -vnt nat -L will show the expected PREROUTING entry with the pkts and bytes column at zero. tcpdump -vvi any -n ip also yields the expected result, namely the UDP 2048 chatter, the gre traffic and the decoded browser initiated traffic with it's source address and the destination address of where the broswer is trying to reach. However, I get -no-squid-traffic- I get just the two packets (ignoring the UDP chatter) One GRE encoded packet, one decrypted packet (with the SYN flag). I see the pkt and byte counts increment with iptables -vnt nat -L as the browser retries 6 times. If I add a LOG to iptables: iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i wccp -p tcp --dport 80 -j LOG I get log entries. This tells me I have everything working right up thru the iptables redirect. But Squid sees nothing, nothing goes into the access.log Configuring the browser to use the proxy/cache works. Squid itself is working AND I have the required lines: http_port 3128 httpd_accel_host virtual httpd_accel_port 80 httpd_accel_with_proxy on httpd_accel_uses_host_header on what boneheaded error am I making? __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
