And make it the proxy host the default route. And make the real router to the Internet the default route on the proxy host... Are you sure it has to be transparent??? > I once toyed with squid (transparent) chained with privoxy, and it worked quite well. But I removed them, as I use Windows as my workstation and there is Proxomitron which is better for my tastes. But, if using Linux, the squid/privoxy might be in use. Privoxy (I think) can not play as a transparent proxy, but Squid can, and it can be chained with Privoxy. -- http://www.iki.fi/jarif/ Today's weirdness is tomorrow's reason why. -- Hunter S. Thompson
