I finally got it working by using dans guardian! The only thing I have to check is if the default works correctly.
I set dansguardian to the default squid port and moved squid to listen to 8080. (which might be a good default that way one doesn't have to go and change browser settings...). I don't know for sure whether both dansguardian.conf and squid.conf are tweaked properly. (Might have to try a clean config this weekend just to check.) -randy
