Please don't ask me directly about Squid usage - if you post to the list I
will read it and reply if I have an answer.

Try the following:

acl IP_address_hosts url_regex ^http://([0-9]{1,3}.){3}[0-9]{1,3}/

I haven't tested this, but the intention is that it match any URL whose
host's name consists of four 1 to 3 digit numbers seperated by dots, i.e.
xxx.yyy.zzz.aaa, which makes the host name actually an IP address.

You can then block this with something like:

http_access deny IP_address_hosts
http_access allow <whatever rules you have for your clients>
