[squid-users] Transparent proxying for clients on same host as proxy?

Hi!

I'm trying to configure transparent proxying with Squid and Linux
2.6/netfilter.

I think I have it working for clients that use the squid box as
standard gateway (the FAQ is pretty clear on how to do that), but I'd
also like http requests originating from the same host as squid is
running on to be intercepted. The machine is both running squid and
serving user desktops, including browser, using a thin client solution
(ThinLinc).

I can't get this to work with the standard rule in the PREROUTING
chain of the nat table. Any hints on how to do?

(I realize that I'll probably have to make sure squid is doing
 outbound connections from an address that is not redirected, or an
 infinite loop will appear)

Thanks,
\EF
