But it can only be a transparent proxy server if I configure netscape to use
it as a proxy server (then I guess it's not totally transparent, is it?).
You must manually configure each system's browser to send url requests to the
proxy server on the required port. Now I _could_ use ipchains to reject any
outgoing packets on port 80 and thereby ensure that noone bypasses the
proxy. Instead, I'd like to use ipchains to transparently redirect the
outgoing packet to the squid port and let squid handle it.
