RE: Squid + Windows Update
Hello,
I think we have got here same kind of network your are talking of there are
450 user aprox. And each user has at least 3 machines.
We had faced the same problem, we workout that each connection coming to
port 80 will be redirected/dropped unless it is from the Proxy host it self.
Regards,
Linuxbug
