Hello,
Dear All.
      I am facing difficulty when installing Squid-2.6.STABLE1 on my Linux Machine. Actually the configuration required to make the Squid a Transparent proxy is not working at all.
      The old parameters required to make the Squid transparent proxy which were present in the previous versions are either deprecated or not supported
          
 These were

httpd_accel_host virtual
httpd_accel_port 80
httpd_accel_with_proxy on
httpd_accel_uses_host_header on

and also the IpTables configuration

/sbin/iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port 3128

are not working.

The new features in the Squid-2.6.STABLE1  for making the squid transparent are  

1 ) http_port 3128 transparent   and
2 ) http_port tproxy

but the above option no. (1) transparent option is not working at all and also for the second option i.e., TProxy support, i can't find the TProxy support available in my linux kernal . The support for TProxy is not built into my Kernal.
Actuall, i have 2.6.15-1.2054_FC5 and i can't find the tproxy script for my release and also i am not able to figure out how to install tproxy support on my machine.
       
Can anybody help me out in this regard.

Thanking in advance.
Shoaib Akbar.
