Surely florin has a test setup you can use with squid?

For us, when necessary (this method does not allow exclusing lists, and
we don't want updates going through our ISPs external proxy back into
the local FTP server when they would charge us for it ...) we use

http_proxy=http://proxy.domain.com:3128
ftp_proxy=http://proxy.domain.com:3128

I forget if DrakX allows using an http proxy server for ftp proxy, and I
do not know if it is possible to proxy ftp via ftp ...

This was an issue before ... (DrakX not allowing http in the ftp proxy
field).

Buchan
