[squid-users] Using two internet connections with Squid

Hi all,

At present my Proxy server and firewall is an OpenBSD 3.6 box running Squid.

I have a DSL internet connection with Static IP.

The squid proxy listens on 127.0.0.1:8080.
The clients have their browsers configured to use proxy server address
as 172.16.1.1:8080 which is the internal interface of the OpenBSD
gateway.

The requests that comes to 172.16.1.1:8080 is redirected by PF to
127.0.0.1:8080 and thus squid acts as the proxy for all requests.

Now things are working fine. But I want to add a third NIC to the
OpenBSD Gateway with a cable internet connection. The IP address,
Gateway address and DNS will be got by DHCP on that interface.

Now I want to allow only a certain group on the LAN to use the DSL
connection. All others should use the cable modem connection to
connect to the internet.

How can I accomplish this with squid. Should I add more redirection
rules NAT rules in my firewall or can I just manage with some changes
in squid ?

I am sorry this is not a Packetfilter mailinglist but since these
should work in conjunction so I mention it .

Has anyone done this before?

Please help me

Thankyou so much

God bless you all

Kind Regards

Siju
