Hello, I'm trying to set up a proxy server with upsidedownternet (http://www.ex-parrot.com/pete/upside-down-ternet.html) running, and I'm having a bit of trouble. After much struggling, I have squid up and running fine and successfully using it as a proxy for one of my computers. I'm using part of a HowTo (located here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Upside-Down-TernetHowTo) to get upsidedownternet to work. As soon as I add the "url_rewrite_program /usr/local/bin/flip.pl" command, squid fails to start. If I comment out that line, it starts fine. I have attached data below from the cache.log from trying to start squid in hopes that someone can point me in the right direction.
