Hi Wash,

Yes my squid proxy works as expected. For some reasons, I am seeing above mentioned messages in my cache.log.

By the way, I did not install Squid from FreeBSD ports. I just installed it from source.

Isn't the above directive enough? Do you recommend any other options and tweaks in squid.conf for transparent proxying?
