We want all dial-up and dedicated line customer router
through Squid installed machine. We want to reduce over utilization of our
current bandwith for Internet connection.

What is your suggestion?
Cisco 7505 router's Serial 1/2 port connected to publicb Internet through
satellite connection.

Please advise to me to configure Squid as transparent proxy/cache server.
