[squid-users] transparently redirect traffic to the Squid with L4-7 switch

Hi working an Alteon L4-7 webswitch to transparently redirect traffic to the
Squid. We are running Squid on RedHat 7.2. We found examples in the
docs(http://squid.visolve.com/faq.htm) on how to do this but all the
examples use ipchains, 7.2 uses iptables. This is what we have done:

httpd_accel_host virtual
httpd_accel_port 80
httpd_accel_with_proxy on
httpd_accel_uses_host_header on

The part that we can not figure it is how to do this with iptables ? or
should we even have to do anything since our Alteon is redirecting all port
80 requests to port 3128 on the Squid - it does not seem to work however but
we can see the requests are coming into the Squid box.

ipchains -A input -j REDIRECT 3128 -p tcp -s <Your Network Address> -d
0.0.0.0/0 80 (do we need to do this at all, with iptables obviously on 7.2)

Our webswitch has a redirect filter and redirects all packets with a
destination port of http to the squid box on 3128.

/c/slb/filt 100
        ena
        action redir
        proto tcp
        dport http
        group 1
        rport 3128

Any pointers on where we can find some info on using Squid in this fashion
with RedHat 7.2 - really an iptables question but any help is appreciated.
