it wouldn't accept your second rule, so I had to make it:

ipfwadm -I -a accept -P tcp -D thishost 80

it wanted a protocol declared when specifying a specific port, I assume i
changed it up correctly.

So now, i have squid answering on 3128, and my rules look like:

IP firewall input rules, default policy: accept
type prot source destination ports
acc all anywhere anywhere n/a
acc tcp anywhere constellation.shreve.net any -> www
acc/r tcp anywhere anywhere any -> www => 3128

(constellation.shreve.net is my squid machine)

Should this avoid those infinite loops?

Well my squid has an IP in 208.206.76.44 (part of 208.206.76.0/24). Do
the rules above catch that or do i need another rule?
