RE: [squid-users] network set-up

Hi,

I agree with Adam.

In order to force everyone through the cache, you can set up your router to
only allow http traffic to/from the cache's IP.

This can however create some external authentication problems, particularly
with NT Challenge/Response requests, but they are not impossible to get
around.

You should put it in the DMZ. Not in your internal network, but behind a
firewall/packet filtered router.
