IP Chains Squid Transparent Proxy Woes

Title: IP Chains Squid Transparent Proxy Woes

I am having an unusual problem when trying to use IP Chains to transparently redirect port 80 to the Squid Proxy Server.  The odd thing is that the IP Chain Command I used in the past did work and now it doesn't.  I moved directories onto another partition and then symlinked them immediately prior to this breaking but did not make any networking changes.

This works when I manually tell each web browser to use 192.168.0.1:3128 as a proxy server.  When I try the commands below I get an error from Squid like this.  While trying to retrieve the URL: /Regional/U_S__States/

The following error was encountered:

*       Invalid URL

The URL was http://dir.yahoo.com/Regional/U_S__States/.

The relevant IP Chain Commands:

# This adds Squid Transparent Caching Ability.

$IPCHAINS -A input -p tcp -s $INTERNALNET -d 0/0 80 -j REDIRECT 3128
