2,eth1 connect to internet ip:192.168.1.179

but I am confused that what is gw for eth0 ?

Moved: This thread is more suitable in Linux-Networking and has been moved accordingly to help your thread/question get the exposure it deserves.

It depends. In some cases 0: when you don't have NICs, but ppp interfaces or similar things. In the normal case, however, you need two: internal and external.

Please be more specific about the problem you have. What fails: NIC configuration (module, IP) or the squid configuration (you can't tell it which interface to use as internal or external)?

Your gateway is eth1 (for the servers), when clients should have 192.168.1.5. If you really have IPs in the same class, be very careful when defining netmasks, it may cause problems.
