Squid don't really care, but it won't help you get rid of the iptables requirement for transparent interception. The interception is primarily about the destination IP address, not the port. > next i am thinking how to improve squid network I/O Then you should most likely look into the epoll/kpoll support in Squid-3 which attempts to address the major bottlenecks of squids network I/O on larger scale servers. Without these the CPU usage skyrockets as the number of concurrent connections increases. Regards Henrik
