Hello!

I have a little problem with transparent proxying on our test server, and i
need some help. We have managed to make one test server, for transparent
proxying. But i can't make it work. If there is some working squid proxyes
(transparent) please advise me how to make it work.

Few questions i have to ask before you can take a closer look to my
"problem".
1. Can i run DNS server on Transparent proxy server (is there any problems
with that)?
2. Do i need wccp module for communication with cisco or i can manage that
with 2 eth. cards?
3. Can i probe my transparent proxy server if i put on my workstation
gateway 195.252.112.17?

 I'll hope, that you can help me with this and give me some instruction's
how to make transparent proxy realy work. If you need any other informations
please mail me.

Thank you all. Luka
