Hello list.
I'm planning to configure pf in bridged environment(using
if_bridge on 6.1),
so I have question if transparent proxy will work?
Is the any working config, or some known issues?

TIA, Roman Gorohov.

What kind of transparent proxy are we talking here, web?
I guess most people would recommend squid,
Out of interest I tested out the new proxy modules for
Apache 2.0 and 
2.2 as a proxy and it does work quite well, has a fair
amount of options 
for cache size and what types to cache and expire.

My main aim for it was just to run it in the office for a
while and have 
a strict rule to just cache stuff over 1 meg or larger.
To me it seems silly and a waste of cpu / hd / io on the
proxy server if 
you bother caching 10k files while everyone in the office is
downloading 
open office and firefox all day.

I would of liked to try it in production if I could figure
out how to 
run it transparently let alone for a bridge, but I couldn't
quite get there.


Mike
