I mean,
  do you want squid to listen on it for external traffic?
  do you want to catch traffic arriving in via it?
  do you want to catch traffic leaving via it?
  any/all of the above?

You mentioned internal LAN users. But what about the rest.

I mean "where" as in:
  Internal / LAN user?
  external / WAN users?
  random strangers visiting your web server?

All the questsions you need to consider anyway when designing the
