[squid-users] Linux as router (Gateway Server)

hi list,

i require help yours side.

Squid Server is serving as Proxy server, Gateway & Firewall

Problem:
Squid daemon dies at startup.

Here is log output of /var/log/messages

Feb 12 09:15:25 squid squid[3652]: Squid Parent: child process 3654 started
Feb 12 09:15:25 squid (squid): Cannot open HTTP Port
Feb 12 09:15:29 squid squid[3720]: Squid Parent: child process 3722
exited due to signal 6
Feb 12 09:15:32 squid squid[3720]: Squid Parent: child process 4385 started
Feb 12 09:15:32 squid squid[3720]: Squid Parent: child process 4385
exited with status 1
Feb 12 09:15:33 squid (squid): Cannot open HTTP Port

Why my iptables rule blocking squid to open HTTP port.

Note: existing rule being attached at the end of mail

Since, process will not die if I disable/flush my rules?

Squid being started from /etc/rc.local

Where i am doing mistakes?

Please suggest since its causing startup hiccup

Thanks & regards,

Navneet Choudhary

Updates & quick recap

1.> Basically I want clients to be able to :

a). Send and receives mails from mail.ISP.net [X.X.X.X] and
sometimes from X.X.X.X
Status: Working
b). Browse the net through squid [3128]
Status: Working

c). Use Jabber [??], MSN [1863] and Yahoo [5050]
Status: Working

d) Down and upload data using ftp from X.X.X.K & X.X.X.Z

Status: Working
e) Down and upload data using SONICMQ [IP & Port?]

Status: Require HELP
e) Allow SSH connection to this system [eth0].
Status: Working
f) We can ping/trace route by domain name i.e. ping yahoo.com
Status: Working

2.What i am using?

My network configuration is as follows: -

         WAN
            |
         eth1
 (172.21.0.133/28)
            |
            |
     Red Hat 9
[Squid Proxy, Gateway ,firewall & FTP]
            |
            |
            |
   (192.168.0.0/16)
          eth0
             |
---- SWITCH----------
             |
             |
             |
         LAN

where:-
eth0-Intel Corp. 82557/8/9 [Ethernet Pro 100]
eth1-Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5702 Gigabit Ethernet

Kernel 2.4.20-8

iptables v1.2.7a

3.What I have done:-

a)Enabled IP forwarding by adding
vi /etc/sysctl.conf

# Controls IP packet forwarding
net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1

b)Automatic loading of modules by adding
vi /etc/rc.local

/sbin/insmod ip_nat_ftp
/sbin/insmod ip_conntrack_ftp

b)Firewall rules as follows:-
