Proxy relay question - please help

Hello all,

I have a big problem and I don't know how to solve it!

In my domain I have a computer (let's call it the DVB-STATION) that is
equipped with a DVB (digital video broadcasting) card that is a
satellite receive-only device. The default route for outgoing packets is
a very busy 33,600 leased line connection.

In order to use that connection, all the http and ftp proxy requests
MUST be made by a proxy server working on that computer (they must come
from a special IP adress).

In my network I have also a proxy server, let's call him SERVER-2.
Behind it there is a local (192.168....) network. All the users in that
local network are using squid as proxy on the SERVER-2 computer.

But the http requests coming from SERVER-2 are going directly to the
internet through the slow 33,600 leased line connection and the html
pages are coming also through the same poor line and they don't use the
high-speed satellite download link from the DVB connection.

In order to optimize it, I should instruct the squid proxy server
working on SERVER-2 to direct all the http and ftp requests to the squid
working on the DVB-STATION and use it as a relay, not directly to the
internet. How can I configure squid to use as a "relay" the other squid
working on DVB-STATION?

I hope I made myself enough clear.

Please can anyone help me? Many thanks in advance!
