I am not sure I understand your issue, but if you want to force users
to use squid, you can configure it as a transparent proxy.
users --> squid --> firewall ---> internet
Is this what you want to acheve?

At present i have setup like what you have said.
users --> squid --> firewall ---> internet
but we want to remove squid from this and allow users to connect firewall
directly.
because firewall people asking to use only firewall to make maximum use of it.
but one IT person finding it's insecure because by doing so every client can
access firewall directly and which should not be allowed.
so just want to know what is perfect combination, squid+firewall or only
firewall.
