This can be done via the following rule.
1. install squid running on your host/gateway 2. setup iptables and ipforwarding 3. use the following rule in your /etc/sysconfig/iptables file. -A PREROUTING -i <your lan interface> -s ! <the IP of your squid host> -p tcp -m tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-ports 3128 This will route all web traffic on port 80 to the squid port on your gateway/router host. 4. run service squid restart 5. run service iptables restart should be working nicely, tail -f /var/log/squid.access.log in an xterm run your favourite browser on one of your clients on your lan go to www.google.com, watch the squid log..

squid service failed while starting it first time.
Hi,
when you are starting the squid service it may failed because it is looking for the cache dir. to create it run the squid -z command. than restart the squid service by service squid restart or /etc/init.d/squid restart. Thanks. Dinesh
