Greetings,

I already have a machine at the gateway of my network performing NAT and FW 
tasks.  I'd like to configure a proxy behind that machine in order to 
log/report user's web usage, control Internet access and possibly even schedule 
when the Internet is accessible and when it shouldn't be (i.e. allowing 
employees to only access the Internet during their lunch hours).  From what 
I've read, it seems like Squid should help me in this quest.

The problem is I haven't found too many documents on putting squid behind a FW. 
 It seems like most focus on it being the actual NAT or gateway.

Here's my questions:

1) Is it possible to run squid behind a FW?

2) Can you run Squid on one network card?

3) If two network cards are required and it can run behind a FW, should the 
machine be setup just as a basic router (i.e. 192.168.1.0/25 to/from 
192.168.1.128/25) before Squid is added?

I appreciate any help you can provide.

Thank you for your time,

Joshua
