I mean, the SSL request comes for the squid machine, so should the firewall
somehow pass this on? Or should the squid machine pass it on? But the squid
machine is outside the firewall, so the firewall won't see the request. Sorry
to be so confused, but I guess this is pretty standard, and if someone can
explain in practical terms what I should do, I will be very grateful. Have I
provided enough information for you to understand our situation?
