I would like to create a queue which gives my customers unlimited speed when the are retreiving from our transparent proxy (Port 80) and limited access when using other ports, protocols or non cached sites. Is this possible?
Is your proxy/cache on same MT unit or seperate Squid box? If using seperate squid, it is possible to patch squid to mark cached content with TOS of choice and then have the MT firewall mangle match packets with this TOS and flow mark for further processing in queue trees. Let me know your scenario.

There is an example of how to do this near the bottom of this page:
Our proxy is a seperate squid box. I checkt the example posted and it addresses my issue if I were using the squid in the MT box. Which I am not.
[admin@TopGun_Floresville] > ip web-proxy print
enabled: yes
src-address: 0.0.0.0
port: 3128
hostname:
transparent-proxy: yes
parent-proxy: xxx.xxx.xx.x:3128
cache-administrator: webmaster
max-object-size: 1024 kB
cache-drive: system
max-cache-size: none
status: running
reserved-for-cache: 0 MB
All proxy request go to the xxx address which is running Squid 2.5-7 (stable)
Goldclick, I think it will have to use a scenario like you suggest. Can you provide further config for a novice.?
