Hi Squid developers,

I've been trying to do this from day one. However, I've also hit upon a
brick wall as there's apparently nobody out there who has successfully
implemented this. I've tried Glenn's recommendations, installed the GRE
module, loaded it, see the packets coming in over the tunnel, but squid sees
nothing...

I do have transparent proxying in place as well...

Where do we, the squid users, get this information? I mean, you guys
implement this feature, but leave us in the dark on how to get it to work.

Developers, with all your knowledge, I'm sure you could come up with a
solution to this already for months dragging question...

Other than loading the GRE module and upping the interface, is there
something we need to do with ipchains to get it to work ?

Walter.
