I would love to help you, but 99% of the squid.conf file is site specific.

If it makes you feel better, I have a squid.conf file that fits on two
screens (less than 50 lines), once all the comments and values that can be
left at the defaults are gone.

As for acls, that is easy.

acl local src 192.168.2.0/255.255.255.0
   1^ 2^ 3^

1) is a name for the acl. Make it an easy one.

2) What type of control. In this case, the source, or client.

3) The string that matches that acl, in this case, an IP address range.

Then, you simply do this:

comment out this line:

http_access allow all

and replace it with this line:

http_access allow local

I hope that helps you.
