ISA server is a firewall/proxy solution. So you need a firewall. If Squid
is your default gateway to the Internet, you simply need to make your
Squid linux box into a router by doing:

echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward

or similar, depending on what you are running Squid on. You didn't say, I
can't guess.

You may also need to add some firewall rules, if you're using Linux then
look around the web for ipchains or iptables.
