how to setup proxy server to redirect requests bas

Question

I need to setup a proxy server, so that the "real" servers only receive requests from the proxy and no one else.

Basically, somthing like this:

1. client1 requests someServer1.myproxy.tld

2. myproxy.tld forwards and maintains comunication back and forward to someServer1.tld

   Client1    Client2    Client3
   
      \          |          /
       \         |         /
        \        |        /
   
           ---------------
           | myproxy.tld |
           ---------------
   
        /        |        \
       /         |         \
      /          |          \
   Server1    Server2     Server3
   

Is this possible with squid? If yes, can someone point me in the right direction? If not, which tool is best suited?

Thank you

Yes, it's possible. You need cache_peer and cache_peer_access directives.
