Bridging and transparent web-cache

[James Davis]

I'm setting up a small server to provide traffic shaping services on a
network in order to conserve the relatively small bandwifth available. In
order to minimise the reconfiguration on site I've configured the server
as a bridge. So far it works brilliantly, interactive applications are now
usuable at the same time as FTP transfers.

I'd like to setup the server to act as a web cache using squid and again
I'd like to minimise the reconfiguration required and have squid working
transparantly. However I can't appear to get traffic to port 80 redirected
to the local squid server, the traffic simply refuses to match the fwd
rule.

I've searched Google and read over the mailing list archives and I've been
left unsure as to whether this configuration is possible or not. Is it?

Thanks,

James
