Interesting. Hadn't thought of that, but there are a number of outbound ports that I find web services on. Since I also proxy through Junbuster, I know what ports I'm letting through: :80 :81 :88 :8000 :8001 :8009 :8080 :8081 :8881 I suppose I could at forward rules for each of these ports to go through my squid proxy. Anyone know a good definitive list of standard web ports? I'm assuming: 80-81 (/etc/services shows no services for ports 81-86) 8000-8009 (nmap services shows 8007:jserv, 8009 ajp13) 8080-8089 (nmap: 8080:http proxy, 8081:blackice-icecap, 8082: blackice-alerts) 8880-8889 (unregistered) Looks like 80, 81, 8000, 8001, and 8080 would be good bets for bulk of traffic. > So, to really be transparent, you'd need to redirect all HTTP acesses > to your firewall's cache.
