Not at this time.

Not sure about RHEL, but there is 2.6.STABLE22 RPM for Fedora 8 and
should be trivial to rebuild on RHEL/CENTOS if needed.

http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/updates/8/SRPMS.newkey/squid-2.6.STABLE22-1.fc8.src.rpm

just do a rpmbuild --rebuild on that file to get a binary RPM for your
OS version. (you may need to install some additional development
packages first if you don't normally build programs from source)

Correct.

There has been talk about making an RPM for Squid-2.7, but it can't be
done as an official RedHat or Fedora RPM due to packaging policies with
only keeping one release of a package at a time, and as result there is
only official RedHat or Fedora RPMS for 2.6 and 3.0 at this time.

>From what I can tell only OpenSuSE has Squid-2.7 packaged as RPM, but
SuSE RPMs generally isn't compatible with RedHat/Fedora not even at
source level (srpm).

If you are interested then I can set up a repository for Squid-2.7 RPMs
for a small administrative charge. Contact me privately to arrange this.
