Hi,

I've been using Squid + TPROXY in transparent sslbump mode for quite a
while now, but I'd like to use an explicit proxy with user
authentication instead.

I have Squid on my first Shorewall firewall, and then I have another
Shorewall gateway where all the HTTP requests go through, with
multiple providers / ISPs.

In transparent tproxy mode, the HTTP requests on the Shorewall gateway
are seen as coming from the users' client hosts (SRC IP addresses are
the ones of the hosts where the web browsers are actually running).
That allows me to mark traffic, and use different providers according
to source P address ranges or other criteria.

In the explicit setup, the Shorewall gateway only sees one IP address
as HTTP source -- the one on the "first" Squid/Shorewall firewall. I
presume that in this case there is NO WAY I can set up the Shorewall
gateway to mangle traffic one way or the other depending on the "real"
src IP address, right?

Vieri
