Squid's ACLs (http://wiki.squid-cache.org/SquidFaq/SquidAcl) should work
the same in forward or reverse proxy mode. Just recognize that the
general public are the clients (src, request) and the accelerated server
is the "Internet" (dst, response).

See the configuration file sections on req_mime_type and rep_mime_type,
and be sure that your MMS server is responding with the proper MIME
Content-Type.
