[plug] Another squid issue

[Bret Busby]

I have just received the following response to a query about squid.

Could someone please advise whether the inability to configure squid as
requested, is an inability inherent in squid, or, whether it would be a system
administrator's decision (or company policy, etc)?

Thanks.
