Redirect "forbidden" requests to:

http://this.page.is.forbidden/

Then in squid.conf (fairly early):

acl forbidden dstdomain this.page.is.forbidden
http_access deny forbidden
deny_info ERR_FORBIDDEN_PAGE forbidden

Finally, create the {sysconfdir}/errors/English/ERR_FORBIDDEN_PAGE file
to suit.

Forbidden requests will be redirected to a non-existent domain, requests
for that non-existent domain will be denied, and a special deny page
will be shown.
