This is how it usually is done.

The problem is however that the content of server1.intranet.com quite
likely do not like being referenced as https://squid.x.com/server1/ as it
probably contains absolute references to where files should be in the URL
namespace such as <A HREF="/path/to/file">. When the browser sees this the
browser will think the reference is to https://squid.x.com/path/to/file
and not https://squid.c.com/server1/path/to/file

If you can get help from the intranet servers to make sure each
content/application which needs to be accessed via the reverse proxy is in
a unique directory not used on the other intranet servers then this
problem can pretty much be avoided and the reverse proxying gets a lot
simpler.
