Re: Squid use/enhancement questions

In regard to your statements below... I had never realized the
difference. How did you come to this determiniation? I had always
assumed that requests coming through a transparant proxy were handled the
same way as other requests. Both types of requests are logged in the
squid/access.log file by the FQDN (unless perhaps there is no FQDN to
begin with).

If it's true that requests via tproxy and other requests are duplicated...
I definately want a way to fix this, too! :-)
