Re: [squid-users] cache performance

I would recommend you to have the clients reconfigured to use the proxy,
but there is several ways you can place it as a transparent proxy
inbetween the clients and the gateway if you prefer.

Any of the following would work:

a) Create a new network between the proxy and your gateway, and assign the
internal address which was on the gateway to the proxy.

b) Use proxy-arp on the proxy server to divide your internal network in
two parts without renumbering.

c) Run the proxy server as a bridge with interception capabilities.

Most likely 'b' is easiest to set up.
