Hello,

we have a nated box with transparent proxy squid  and wish to control
all ports/protocols (143 110 119 80 etc...) with iptables and because of
the transparent proxy we cannot control, with iptables "forward" rules,
access to the transparent proxy any idea? 

ps: i already tell my boss to use squid's acl but he want all controls
in one place...

Why does the fact that Squid is on the box (and running as a transparent 
proxy) stop you putting in forwarding rules for all the other protocols?

Squid is only an http proxy - in transparent mode it won't even do ftp for you 
as well - so it should not make any difference to whatever you want to do 
with other port numbers.

Please tell us exactly what you want to do, what your existing setup is, and 
what you have tried which doesn't work.
