You can set Squid up to be a fine transparent proxy server.
Can anyone suggest a good starting point preferably using suse 9.1?
I would suggest you look at using IPTables. There's a whole pethora of information out there about it. Or, alternatively, if you supply more detailed information here, I am sure I could point you in the right direction.
Can I acheve redirection of the https traffic?
Yes, and you probably won't ned IPTables to do it, if you use a transparent proxy. although granted this detail depends on your network topology.
port 25 should just be a iprule command but the proxying is stumping me at the moment.
Any suggestions?
If you could provide a detail of your network with (if you want) fake IPs, and a small ASCII diagram, that would help. :) -- Thomas Adam ___________________________________________________________ Yahoo!
