You don't need to do that. Just install an external cache, and list the
address
of the machine's external interface in /etc/resolv.conf. Both the machine
itself and external clients can use the same cache that way.

No it doesn't. I think you mean that it'll allow connections from 127.0.0.1
and
63.113.255.*. It'll only listen on one address.

127.0.0.1.
See above.

That's correct. You just need one cache, and it can be used by remote
clients
as well as themachine itself.
