[squid-users] SquidFaq on Windows Update

Hello,

I've followed the following
http://wiki.squid-cache.org/SquidFaq/WindowsUpdate and it does work...
with a catch. In my scenario Dansguardian is running in front of Squid
on the LAN IP of the firewall which is 172.30.1.2:8888. Squid is running
on 127.0.0.1:3128. Dansguardian forwards incoming traffic to Squid which
then goes out to the net. Even following the directions in that URL with
the port / ip setup above, windows updates do not work. In order for me
to get them to work, I have to move squid to 172.30.1.2 to share the
same listen IP as Dansguardian. I do not understand why this matters,
but it's the only way it ever works. This is the case for me on multiple
firewalls deployed at difference places.

Can anyone tell me why it will not work with squid listening on 127.0.0.1?

Thanks,
Elvar
