Squid School

Hi,

I am new with squid setup and need a little help.
I provide internet services to a local school system. They have 22
schools with ISDN lines and 3 frac. T-1's for the bigger schools.

The smaller schools have 20- 25 kids surfing over the ISDn lines...I
am suggesting that they install squid in each of the schools. This is
almost no brainer to set up (as Red Hat 5.2 installs it and it runs
right out of the box!)

The problem is this: Each of the schools needs to point to the squid
box, which in turn must look ONLY to a firewall/content filter on
specific ports.

The firewall/content filter is set up so that each workstations'
browser now look to it like this (phil is the "filter")

ftp:phil.mva.net 8021
http:phil.mva.net 8080
Secure: phil.mva.net 8443

I need to leave the users browsers set to the same ports only aim at
squid.mva.net. Then have squid look only to phil.mva.net as a gateway
for squid. This scenario would only allow caching of pages allowed by
the filter.

Can anyone help me? I am a squid newbie and could not see how to set
squid to point only at 1 host (as a gateway)
I could not see how to specify ports for ftp and secure

TIA
