if you are talking about configuring the squid.conf in MT this isn't possible. I have asked for this before and the Latvian guys has said that it isn't possible.
To configure squid.conf in the red hat box i think you are familiar, but if you don't, howtoforge.com has some nice how tos..

I do not know the answer
but he has a separate cache servers, he wants to know the best way to redirect traffic from his mt router to the squid box, and the configuration of how to configure the squid box for use with his mt router.
For someone (not me) to answer this you need to provide more information. Do you have nat? What is you uplink speed? Your customer size and speeds you are offering?

Knowing a little bit more about your current configuration for your network and for squid. Off the top of my head it sounds like Squid isn't listening on the correct port. You're going to need to make sure you have squid listening on the same port you have the MT redirecting your port 80 traffic to. Yahoo messenger works because it doesn't use port 80 for its use. You can use squid on a transparent bridge type configuration but I've read that its not compliant with several standards and can break certain web applications. Squid isn't designed anyways to proxy all types of traffic.
Also, while I've not tested it, I think you might also be in a loop. If you have a single MT router (your edge or border gateway) and your clients and proxy are behind it and it is doing the traffic redirect, you're going to need additional rules to have the MT ignore port 80 requests from the squid otherwise it will try and use itself and you end up with traffic just going in circles. My head says yes but I'm sure someone else can confirm this behavior.
Please post your network topo , your MT Conf and your squid.conf
