Re: HELP: AIX transparent cache implementation

Hi Matt,

I've got Squid 2.2 Stable 5 running on an AIX 4.3.2 machine. Below
you'll find
the part concerning the firewall (BTW, I found the solution in the
Mailinglist
archives on the Squid home site).

cache_peer gw.interaccess.nl parent 80 0 no-query no-digest
no-netdb-exchange
default
.
.
.
acl all src 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0
acl manager proto cache_object
acl localhost src 127.0.0.1/255.255.255.255
acl ia-br src 172.16.1.28/255.255.255.255
acl SSL_ports port 443 563
acl Safe_ports port 80 21 443 563 70 210 1025-65535
acl CONNECT method CONNECT
acl intranet dst 172.16.1.5/255.255.255.0
always_direct allow intranet
acl all src 0.0.0.0/0
never_direct allow all
acl ldap proxy_auth REQUIRED
.
.

gw = our Firewall
ia-br = our Squid Proxy server

If you've other questions let me know, I'll see if I can help.

Richard.
