Same solution, just a syntax error. "deny all" was in the wrong place 
(and I am not sure whether the lowercase F in "for" affects anything - 
Are Squid ACLs case sensitive?). Mark had the actual solution though.

I think it simply stops Squid from passing your local private IP address 
through to the webserver. Instead it passes the external IP address of 
your network (or the Squid box itself's IP perhaps)?

We're all here to give and receive help. I monitor this group mainly to 
learn more about squid.  :-)
