>> The reason I am intercepting the usual ports other than 80 and 443 is that I am using the squid server in a membership system. People only who has a membership of internet connection should be able to access the internet. So I have to do it through squid. I am adding MAC addresses to squid to check if the client is a member or not. And also squid helps me caching & dividing the bandwitdh to make equal access to all clients. This is the origin of the problem.
