[squid-users] Squid 2.7 Transparent Between Router & Firewall Checkpoint UTM270 - Microsoft Page Issues

Hello,

I have a squid box between the router (connectec to Internet) and the
"final" firewall which is a Checkpoint UTM270 model. The Squid proxy is
successfully running as a transparent proxy-router (using IPTables) for
the internal clients of the company.
We have 2 major problems.

No client is able to access the www.microsoft.com website or any other
website of the microsoft.com domain. They request the page from their
browser and the see the page after 2 or 3 minutes. BUT, if they type
i3.microsoft.com (instead of www.microsoft.com) they successfully get
the page in 1sec.

The other problem is that the Checkpoint firewall has SPAMProtection but
its spamResolver is down because of squid. It can't reach the mother
database or even establish a connection for the firewall updates.

Thank you in advance,

Alexandros
