[squid-users] conf squid to use a specific interface

Hey All...

A while back I posted an inquiry about directing squid's traffic over a
specific network interface:

Some faq was suggested for Linux environments, but I'm running on FreeBSD
5.2. I do not want to change the default route. Is there some other
config option in Squid to handle this?

I'm reading up on the IPFW functionality in FreeBSD; sounds like it can
route TCP traffic on a per-port basis. Is this the correct approach? If
so, does anyone have a sample of ipfw rules they're using for this?
