Yes, I can see the idea behind that. However, I think it must be possible
and much simpler to have Netfilter drop external requests to port 3128. I'm
trying to find out how to do that.

I have one card (eth0, 192.168.1.254) connected to an adsl router and
another (eth1, 192.168.2.1) connected to my lan network. Squid should only
work on the lan -- there are no incomng connections. Binding Squid to
127.0.0.1 will bind it to ... what exactly? I'm sorry, I'm new to this. Can
you explain your idea in terms of my configuration?

Thanks,
Niels
