Of course Snort will inspect the traffic. However, to view the internal ip, if the proxy is rewriting the Source IP, then it's a limitation.

If your intention is other, please clarify. I'm afraid I am not sure I understand what you are asking then.

You have two options. Correlate the events with the logs from your Squid
proxy, or move the Snort sensor inside the proxy.

The second sensor *is* on the proxy.

Sometimes (and right now I can't remember if Squid does it) it will add a
header to the http that says "X-Forwarded-For" or similar that

X-Forwared-For is disabled of course. :)

will have the IP of the actual client. However, like I said, I can't
remember if Squid does that for you, and that would be the only way that
you can see the IP behind the proxy.

So, snort (or the current ruleset) is not able to inspect certain squid
traffic? As I replied to Paul, some things are caught (e.g. SHELLCODE x86
NOOP, Invalid FTP Command, and some more) but not the policy or porn
traffic.
