Fwd: proxy+port redirection behaviour

Hi,

forward traffic.


My clients gateway is set to squid proxy and the squid proxy 's gateway is 
set to the firewall. I want to run the rules on my squid box and there are 
no other rules on it. Except the ones that i send in my previous mail.

As such, do you have any other firewall rules set up or policies on chains

Yes no extra DROP rules My squid box has only one interface so there is any 
neeed of enabling forwarding on it. ?? Anyways i enable forwarding but still 
it does not works.


Thanks
