I finally got around to writing a howto for recent versions of

I'd rather not contribute to bad documentation online.
The current version of the official Squid docs has an omission which,
on my setup at least, caused some problems. In
http://wiki.squid-cache.org/ConfigExamples/Intercept/OpenBsdPf#NAT_Interception_proxy,
"http_port 3129 intercept" didn't work, but "http_port 127.0.0.1:3129
intercept" did. Not specifying the interface to listen on caused
"connection refused" errors; I'm not sure what's going on there, but
the README in the OpenBSD package also has the address:port syntax:
http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/ports/www/squid/pkg/README-main?rev=1.5;content-type=text%2Fplain
Thanks,

Just a couple of points:
* the rdr-to support has been updated for 3.4. So a note in the
documentation stating thet this is for 3.2 and 3.3 specifically and
things will be changign again in future may be useful.
* visible_hostname does *not* need to be configured if the local machien
hostname can be resolved by Squid during startup. The hostname RFC
requirements are for a host name to have both forward and reverse DNS
records. Any host which is so configured does not need visible_hostname
at all.
* the logform|at "squid" is p||redefined. Please do not re-define it. If
you need something unusual use a different format name.
|
* |cache_store_log is not useful unless you are debugging the cache
storage.|
