I've been pondering this. It explains a lot. The application I was trying was using XML-RPC and was doing http 1.0 requests. I was under the impression that it grabbed that from the request itself, as it would for a standard (non-transparent) proxy request. ie GET http://slashdot.org/ HTTP/1.0 ^^^^^^^^^^^^ a name lookup would be done on the host part of the request and dealt with like that. Is there a way I can set it to operate like that? Hmm. Now, this leaves me with the problem that I can't redirect to another computer with ipchains. Is the solution to set the squid box as my default gateway and have its default gateway set to my firewall? Anyway, the place I'm now at is that it works for static html and chokes on sending form data. I'll try doing the gateway shuffle, and see if that gets me anywhere. Thanks for that, James. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
