my first try for a squid.conf would be something like:

cache_stoplist :
# all URLs have a : and we don't want to cache anything

cache_mem 0
# good idea/bad idea? cache_mem always puzzles me

cache_swap 0
# nothing to cache nothing to swap?

quick_abort 0 0 0
# abort immediately if client no longer there

swap_level1_dirs 1
swap_level2_dirs 1
# squid wan't to create them, but it should only create a few

As I said, my first try. But then some of my first tries end up in an
core dump ;)
 Unfortunately there is nothing about a proxy-only squid in the FAQ,
so its either so easy to configure or no one ever thougt about a
proxy-only squid before?
