[squid-users] ftp reverse proxing

After reading the FAQ and other associated docs i have come to the
conclusion that Squid cannot play the part of a transparent FTP proxy, it
can only talk http to the client and then do the ftp request to the server.

This situation is fine for me however what I would like to know is if it
can perform this service in reverse (ie accelerator mode). I have an FTP
server running behind a firewall and Squid installed in a webserver in the
our DMZ. I have Squid running in accelerator mode to proxy/cache HTPP I
would like external clients to connect (via http if necessary) to Squid and
have their requests relayed (via ftp) to the real ftp server.

Ideally it would be nice if the clients could connect to Squid using FTP -
i.e. a completly transperant proxy however im assuming that this is not
possible with Squid - would this be correct?

thanks in advance
