Re: [squid-users] Transparent cache

I don't know much about Foundry machines, so I won't comment on the
configuration...but I don't see anything about redirecting the port 80
traffic going into the Squid machine to the local port 80 (where you say
Squid is running). Without such a redirection the Squid box is just
acting as a router and sending the traffic on through.

I'm guessing you need a rule (using iptables, if running on Linux, for
example) on the Squid box that redirects port 80 traffic to the local
Squid port. This is documented in the Squid FAQ when discussing all
other types of interception proxying--it is probably safe to assume that
Foundry requires the same type of configuration.
