Hi Amos,
Thanks for the reply.
I have another query now.
If the squid is configured in the transparent mode,
a. if a url say yahoo.com is requested through a browser like IE to
squid,
will the IE itself initiate a DNS lookup before forwarding the
request to
squid or will it simply forward the request to the squid and let the
squid
do the DNS look up?
Consider: Why would the browser pass a request to Squid when you have
configured it not to know the proxy is there?
The browser is contacting the origin server and its traffic is being
wire-tapped / diverted / intercepted / MITM.
What would you expect the browser to do when it believe it needs to
contact a website using the URL?
