FW: [squid-users] Problems running squid in Transparent mode.....

Ok, this might sound completely crazy but for some reason the
Transparent proxy seems to be functioning 100% ok when I'm in the same
IP network as the Proxy server.

Subject: [squid-users] Problems running squid in Transparent mode.....

Hi There,

OS: Freebsd: 4.11
Squid: squid-2.5.STABLE7-20050124

My squid is running in Transparent mode where I have a bandwidth manager
called Etinc installed on the same box as which squid is running. Etinc
works as a bridge using policy based routing to forward all packets on
port 80 to my localhost where I in turn use ipfw (ipfw 10 fwd
127.0.0.1,3128 tcp from any to any 80 in) to pass all packets to squid.

Squid caches everything correctly but for some reason it seems like it
fetches everything again from the source rather then to just pass it
from the cache to the user. I've made a small test by downloading a
900Kb file and then re-download it a second time after the first
download finished and I'm basically getting the same speed the second
time as the first. I've checked my access log and I'm defnately getting
a HIT. This is when I'm using transparent mode. If I specify the proxy
in my browser it downloads the 900Kb file in seconds the second time.

Thanks for the help in advance.
