Well, in that case... If you don't mind putting in proxy server settings into Netscape, some FTP clients allow you to put in firewall settings. I know the Windows clients CuteFTP and WS_FTP both support proxy servers like the TIS ftp-gw and SuSE's FTP proxy. I realise you might be talking about transparently forcing browsers to use Squid, though, in which case ignore this message ;) -- Michael Wood | Tel: +27 21 762 0276 | http://www.kingsley.co.za/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Fax: +27 21 761 9930 | Kingsley Technologies
