I am using webmin interface to maintain my linux box. There is an option 
under squid to re-initialize the cache.

And you can always tell squid to never cache some of the domains(like. 
local domains)  by going into squid configuration file. I don't remember 
the name of the file. If you can not find it, mail me I can get it to you.

And, I guess you can go to your squid cache folder, delete everything 
underneath it and restart squid(I remember doing this some time back, 
before my webmin).

Cherrs!
