Hello, I am new to the list and have checked the archives in order to see if this
question has already been asked or not, but nothing was found. 

My basic scenario is like this:
The company I work for has 2 t1s, one is used for our ipmasq, and is getting quite
saturated due to the tremendous growth of the company, and the other is used just by
a few engineers. 

The traffic going out, after putting an analyzer on the masq box, is 99% web traffic,
so I was going to set up an ipportfw on port 9000 to point to two squid cache's, one
on the saturated t-1 and the other on the hardly-used t1 and set up the prefrence level
on ipportfw to both be the same, so it forwards to these cache servers in a roundrobin
like fasion...

Then setup an ipchains rule that redirects all traffic going anywhere to port 80 to 
port 9000 
(which then hits the ipportfw rule)

But the problem is, even when I set up the ipportfw rule using the internal ip and 
when I telnet
to it from the internal network (on port 9000) it just hangs, then times out.

Would anyone know of what I might be doing wrong here?

Thanks for any help that might be given,
Mark
