[squid-users] Transparent/Accelerator

Hello list,

can anyone shortly describe the difference between the "transparent" and
"accel" flags for the "http_port" option? (For Squid 3 (20050524))

For another thing, let's assume this simplified network topology:

bignode 10.0.0.1
  |
  +-- subgw 10.17.0.1
  | |
  | +-- client1 10.17.0.91
  | +-- client2 10.17.0.92
  |
  +-- client3 10.19.0.22

All clients have bignode:3128 set as proxy, but subgw shall intercept all
requests from its subnet 10.17.x.x and block certain URLs.

The interesting thing now is that subgw _does_ have all the important
information[1] -- and so, does Squid3 handle this scenario?
