Subject: RE: [squid-users] Client "Configuration"

    I'm new to squid. Would it be possible to set squid between my network
and my border router and just grab ALL the traffic headed to the web or web
related services(given port numbers etc...)? I am trying to get away from
relying on network nodes to be configured properly. If I can get everything
fresh off the wire then I don't need to worry about client configuration.

I use Cisco's WCCP protocol to forward all HTTP requests to my Squid proxy.
You will have to build squid with the --enable-linux-netfilter --enable-wccp
option, install the wccp module and a few other steps. This will enable you
to route all your traffic to squid without touching each client machine. If
you are using a Cisco router that supports WCCP and would like to install
this... reply to this thread and I will post my installation set-up steps.

Scott
