Have a look at the inside_firewall and single_parent_bypass options in
squid.conf.

cache_host isp.proxy.com parent proxyport icpport
inside_firewall yourdomain.com
single_parent_bypass on

Since you're in a real firewall environment, and your ISPs proxy server
is the only way out, single_parent_bypass on will disable ICP.
