If using a proxy, no.

Probably because they are not in fact using the proxy?

ip-aliasing is fine, unless you care for security in which case separate
networks should be used for internal and external networks.

You are not allowed to do that. You are however allowed to hide it in a
comment by adding the following to the end of the error page definitions
in squid/etc/errors:

<!-- Generated %t by %h running %s -->

%s must be used somewhere, or Squid will attach it's default signature.
The other are optional.
