Answer 1

visit these pages, all you need is described there:

http://www.php2s.com/linux/install-configure-squid-proxy-server-on-centos-or-enterprise-linux-5-and-implement-access-control-list-to-block-website.html

but if you want to have extensive understanding of all aspects of configuring proxy server (here: squid) its better to read one following books:

http://www.amazon.com/Squid-Proxy-Server-3-1-Beginners/dp/1849513902/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1335773355&sr=1-1

http://www.amazon.com/Fedora-Networking-Servers-Richard-Petersen/dp/1936280191/ref=sr_1_6?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1335773355&sr=1-6

(the latter is for Fedora but there is no fundamental deference between it and CentOS in this field )
