[squid-users] Simple port 80 squid reverse-proxy question

All,
I set up a reverse proxy using squid 3.0. It works fine actually, but I
wanted to run the config by you all to be sure I wasn't missing anything
important. In particular, I am worried about commenting out the
http_access deny all. I added an "allow all" setting, but I was
wondering if there was a better way, and also if I am doing the below
stuff correctly as well. Here's my setup:

Outsideworld ---> Squid --->webserver

-I am doing normal http port 80 reverse-proxying.

        acl manager proto cache_object
        acl localhost src 127.0.0.1/255.255.255.255
        acl all src 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0
        acl allowed_hosts src 10.0.5.0/255.255.255.0

        http_access deny manager all
        http_access allow allowed_hosts
# http_access deny all

        icp_access allow allowed_hosts
        icp_access deny all

        cache_dir ufs /usr/local/squid/var/cache 100 16 256
        cache_effective_user nobody
        cache_effective_group nobody
        visible_hostname Linux

always_direct allow all
http_port 192.168.1.79:80 defaultsite=www.test.in
http_access allow all
