Here is what I have in mine: Stock config file with the following changes: httpd_accel_host virtual httpd_accel_port 80 httpd_accel_with_proxy on httpd_accel_uses_host_header on acl PURGE method PURGE acl localhost src 127.0.0.1 http_access allow PURGE localhost http_access deny PURGE acl CGI url_regex .cgi$ acl PHP url_regex .php$ acl ASP url_regex .asp$ acl ASPNET url_regex .aspx$ no_cache deny CGI no_cache deny PHP no_cache deny ASP no_cache deny ASPNET For IPTables I have added the following line: eth0 being INET, eth1 being LAN -A PREROUTING -o eth0 -i eth1 -p tcp -m tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-ports 3128 This way when I access my internal httpd server on the same box it won't try to proxy it. There is also a ACL that must be disabled in the squid file acl deny all (I think).
