Hi ,

I am using Fedora core 8 as a server and 30 workstations . I would like to configure squid in my machine. Already DHCP is running in my Router. I would like to make my proxy server as a gate way of that. Is it possible? Kindly help me to resolve this problem.

Is it must to run HTTP service on Squid server ?

Can you please brief on that a bit more?
Is your internet connection through adsl router modem? If yes then the ip by your isp is provided to it.
You can still use proxy server behind router and before the network.
Also can you brief on what is your need of using proxy?

Yes, It's possible. configure the squid with WCCP Option(--enable wccp). Run the squid as a transparent proxy(Default Gateway). Read squid-cache.org document or visolve.com configuration guide.

Thank You.
