No, this is usually sufficient.

For security reasons you might want consider to make Squid only listen
on your internal interface as well.. see the http_port directive. (in
such case, see also icp_port, htcp_port, snmp_port and
udp_incoming_address).

firewalling the Linux box is probably also a good idea. See "iptables"
(or "ipchains" if you are running a older Linux version using
linux-2.2.X kernels)
