This is one of the things that I love to use webmin for
<http://www.webmin.com>

It handles constructing acls and moving them/ranking them easily enough
and the ability to restart squid, clear the cache, view the stats or
logs.

I know it's cheating not to use the cli, but I admit it...I was an early
Mac user and learned network administration on Windows NT.

BTW...My daughter is a teacher in Scottsdale elementary and they block
all the big web mail sites access for everyone. Too many viruses, too
much wasted time.
