trying to set up a Squid transparent proxy. All is good for the transparency, however the proxy occasionally runs into errors such as "connection to 0.0.0.0 Failed"
Is this common? Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks

You shouldn't be trying to connect to 0.0.0.0, as it's unroutable. If you are attempting to proxy to 0.0.0.0
in your configuration, more than likely someone got confused by its frequent appearance in listener definitions.
0.0.0.0
is only being used to specify an address to listen on?
