Thanks, James.  My K12LTSP server is also the squidguard/dansguardian 
filter.  I thought that the transparent-proxy-dg package was doing this.

So, I have typed the following at the terminal

iptables -A PREROUTING -p tcp -m tcp ! -d 192.168.0.254/255.255.255.0 -i 
eth1 --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port 3128

and I get this response

iptables: No chain/target/match by that name
