I've got a LAN behind a machine running Squid and this machine lies behind a router which provides the LAN with the Internet connection ... Is it possible to forward ALL the outgoing connections on the 65,535 available ports to the port which Squid runs on (3128) so that any outgoing and incoming traffic passes by Squid, and then will I be able to define ACL rules and delay pools to limit the bandwidth ?
Squid is strictly an HTTP proxy. While you COULD do this, nothing but HTTP traffic would work (HTTPS traffic would likely be broken as well unless special steps were taken).
There are other projects aimed at traffic shaping (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traffic_shaping#External_links).
