What do you mean by "embedded" ?
squid listens for client connections on port 8080 by default. AFAIK it sends
back the answers on the port numbers given by the original server. So if the answer comes
at 9010, squid will leave it there if this port is configured for proxying at all.
But this is unrelated to the inital problem : if I understand your drawing correctly,
squid is sitting behind the firewall on the intranet side. If your firewall blocks port 9010,
squid will never reach this site and cannot forward any information from there.
You will have to redirect the port on the firewall or open it there.

Hope this helps,
