How to setup iptables rule to redirect all outbound http/https requesets to Symantec Web Security software operating on another server

Asked by jrbeac1 in Linux Network Security

How can I setup iptables rule to redirect all outbound http/https requesets to Symantec Web Security software operating on another server? I have a client with two gateways to the Internet. One is a linux box with iptables rules setup. The other is a Windows server. Currently, the former is setup to act as the internal users gateway to the Internet. The latter is setup for roaming users to VPN into the network. The client wants to setup Symantec Web Security software on this Windows server. The documentation for that product indicates that each client must be reconfigured to use the server running Symantec as its gateway. It seems to me that a naughty user could simply reset that and bypass the Security rules. Which leads back to my question, how can I setup the linus box to redirect all outbound http/https traffic to that other Security server?

thanks in asvance,

jack
