Other than making sure that 127.0.0.1 is not forbidden anywhere, no clear idea.
I usually do a redirect (for transproxy) from the LAN-side interface to Squid on
3128, and let users hit the BigBadWorld interface for their web service. Same
machine, different doorway. I don't normally use Squid as both a local proxy and
HTTPd accelerator, but see no reason for it failing.
