No and Yes.

One of the reasons why I have not been posting recently is that trying to get
a squid to work the way I want it to on the network here is chewing up
all my answering mail time.

This is an ipchains question; if you haven't solved it yet please post again
and I will have a scout through the ipchains docs. I have a very simple
ipchains set up as I don't mind inside users connecting to outside
hosts. Firewalls will change again with the new kernel.
