Squid

if you are looking for reverse-proxy, check out varnish.

I have no experiences with squid, but speaking of varnish, yes you can run it on the same server even IP as web server. You just have to configure your web server to listen on different port.

I'm just starting into squid now after reconfiguring my network for it. If the directions in squid said that's how to use it I'd be there.

Generally, no. You can use squid and apache on the same machine as a reverse proxy. The better performance part generally doesn't work:
  • Both squid and apache fight for network, cpu and memory resources on the machine, most notably the IO cache.
  • The bottleneck in serving dynamic requests with php/mysql is never the webserver
  • Webserver delivers static content faster then a (reverse) proxy

You would do better to analyze your queries.
 
OK
I have a machine called proxy running three jails. ns, mail , www (squid) using the jail applications example. Everything is working and I'm using the proxy for my network browsers.

My setup is cable modem >> proxy ip=192.168.0.1, plus jails ip=192.168.0.3-5 Then out to 192.168.0.2 "IN" >> dlink router out >> My network where ip=192.168.2.136 sits and has three alaises 192.168.2.3-5. 5 being my test web server.

How would I connect the world through my proxy for the test web content?

Thanks in advance.
