In this configuration, chrome gives the error

In
Browser->AV->router->NAT->Inet
Or
Browser->router->NAT(redirect)->squid->Inet

Things work just fine, chrome will trust the av or squid on their own but not the av when both are inline. That's the oddness. Even odder is winXP working with both inline.

Maybe I'll go that route. Have to find an AV Scanner.
