The only way to allow traffic to flow between 2 networks is routing, did you mean that you don't want to use a routing device and want to use a computer ?

Simply enable forwarding, and configure your routes. Use the IP addresses for your respective interfaces as the gateway for that route on other hosts on the network.

Your distro may have a check box for forwarding in the network setup gui dialog. If not, look at the blog post:
http://www.ducea.com/2006/08/01/how-...ding-in-linux/

Also look at the route command or ip command for setting routes. You should indicate which Linux distro you have.
RPM based distro's have files in /etc/sysconfig/ you can edit. Debian based distros have a file in /etc/ that configures the network.

do you want to use this RH linux as a gateway between the two networks without router? You will need two network cards.

Squid is a proxy server, not a router. If you configure squid as a reverse proxy to cache web traffic, its IP address would be used to access web sites instead of the gateway. You may need to enable forwarding so that both networks can reach your proxy server address, or listen on both interfaces. In either case, you will have routes configured anyway. A squid server would be in addition to routing. The router works on the IP layer. A squid server works at the application layer. So you are comparing apples and strudel.

there are several possibilities, like nat, port forwarding or simple routing.
As far as I see you have two network card, one is configured in 10.0.0.0, the other is 192.168.0.0.
This host has 2 ip adresses (both NIC have one).
in 10.0.0.0 you need to configure a gateway to 192,168.0.0. This will be your RH (the 10.0.* NIC) and this host will route the requests to the other NIC. I do not know if you have DHCP, DNS or other related softwares installed. Also do you have internet access also, or other communications?
