Thanks for the reply. My security guys just want another level of security. The 
SW server is already in my DMZ. But they want my clients to connect to a proxy 
and then have the proxy connect to the SW server. I don't need any sort of 
caching, just need a forwarder which I thought squid could do just fine. 

Thanks

squid on spacewalk proxy is used to cache rpms, and on default configurations 
accept only connections from localhost... 

instead of using squid to improve security you can filter access to your 
spacewalk server by putting it on dmz behind your firewall and then enable only 
hosts that you want.
