I dont really know HOW it works but if you are wanting to ensure that everything is passed through the proxy your best bet is to Forward requests on Port 80 to port 3128
eg...
# Redirect Traffic for Port 80 to Squid Proxy Server:3128
$IPTABLES -t nat -A PREROUTING -i $INSIDE -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port 3128
this will make everything connecting on port 80 go to 3128 (default squid port)
Distribution: Debian 3, 31r0, 4, slackware, DSL, RH8.0/7, MDK9/10, et al. Vista is cute but not Linux - I tried

Cool. Thanks for the info Chris. Will put that into my archives for next time. I've been manually configuring the client machines with the proxy info so this could be usefull. Of course if you want to run an internal server at that IP you would need to modify that rule but it's all good.
ya if u wanted an internal proxy that would reside off of the gateway you would need to Forward to that computer too as well as the port.. not sure if this would create problems... dont think it should though hmmm
i think something like...
IPTABLES=/sbin/iptables
INSIDE=eth1
PROXYSERVER="192.168.1.2"
