Assuming that the requests from 127.0.0.1 means squid has sucessfully grabbed its <public-ip-only>:80 port I suspect you have a second interface which Squid is not listening on that lets requests go straight to apache on its <anything>:80 listener. You would be best having apache hard-accessed to 127.0.0.1:80 and squid on the other two? three+? Amos
