Read the info regarding the setup of a transparent proxy under following URL: http://squid.visolve.com/white_papers/trans_caching.htm The policy routing can be done by WCCP which is available if you use a router which supports that. Some pages in the web explain the setup quite good. For WCCPv1 follow the link http://www.sublime.com.au/squid-wccp/ For WCCPv2 the setup is a bit different. Main information regarding this setup please see under: http://squid.visolve.com/developments/wccpv2.htm Cheers, Alexander
