Sorry to re-open this ancient thread, but I'm interested in another aspect of this. I am working for a small ISP customer who have an obligation not to block *any* traffic. We have set up Squid in transparent mode and we are using a Brocade smart switch / router to redirect port 80 traffic to the Squid machine. It all works, but we notice an immediate and significant drop in outbound traffic which we are fairly sure is caused by Squid blocking non-http port 80 traffic. Can anyone suggest a way to only pass http traffic to Squid - and let other non-http traffic to pass through. Look forward to hearing your suggestions. -RichardW.
