I would like to force all relayed traffic to use this proxy server without having to specify proxy settings on the other machines. The big catch is that the gateway is also a work station. Hence I would like it also to be forced to use the proxy transparently. Is this possible on the one machine? The gateway machine is a secondary proxy hence I know a valid outgoing address that the machine must be able to access without translation These are the two things I want to work: Situation 1 (normal tranparent proxying works here): +--internalbox--+- gatewaybox --+ | | | httprequest:80 -> gwproxy:8080 -> offsiteproxy:8080 -> inetaddress:80 Situation 2 (the problem): +--------- gateway box ---------+ | | httprequest:80 -> gwproxy:8080 -> offsiteproxy:8080 -> inetaddress:80 Any suggestions?
