 No. This is all described from Squids viewpoint of the network. Being a
 proxy squid has contact with both clients and servers external to
 itself.
  ie client <-> squid <-> server

 "server" in this is according to the client-server networking concept
 description, and is any source of data Squid uses outside of itself. Web
 server, other proxy server, web application server, ftp server, gopher
 server, SHOUTcast server, etc. see
 http://wikipedia.org/wiki/Client%e2%80%93server_model for more details.

 Don't get hung up on the word "internet". Every home users PC when
 plugged in is part of The Internet. The fact that *most* servers will be
 outside your network is a minor detail. Some will likely be internal, it
 just depends on where the clients (aka "user" or "browser") want to
 fetch data from.
