After hours of looking at config files, FAQ's, and docs, I give up. I don't think it is possible. Ideally, I would want to run one squid and two squidguards. The squid would call the appropriate squidgauard depending on the source request port.
Run 2 squids - make them cache peers so they share their cache between both instances and have 2 disc caches.
Alternativly, if you have full control of the client(s) use something like IDENT to differentiate between the 2 types of blocking you require.
Thanks for the response. I was hoping to not have to go the route of running two squids. The most obvious reason is that it looks like they cannot share the same cache, so if I wanted a 20GB cache, now I would have to come up with 40GB. Plus it looks rather complex- running two squids on one server. None of the docs talk about doing that, only "peering" to other machines with different names/IP addresses. Thus, I doubt I would ever figure out how to do it correctly.
As for IDENT... I do, indeed, have control over the clients and thought about using IDENT, but that has a huge limitation too... (Assuming I could even make it work) it would require that everytime I need to add a new user or change user access, I would have to physically walk down to the firewall machine, login, and change the rules in squidGuard to specify what to do with that user. Although this is preferable to running two squids... so I will investigate further.
