Re: [squid-users] unproxying intranet

There is another way to go directly to local intranet servers, only if
you're using transparent proxy, i.e., no proxy configured on the clients'
browsers. In this case, you could do an exception to the redirect / dst-nat
rule when the dst-ip is from your intranet.
