[squid-users] Make all IPv6 ips on system to be used as a proxy

[Aaron Turner]

Run multiple instances of squid, one per IP address?  I'm not aware of
some magic config option to do what you want.

Seriously though, using a proxy to control your outgoing IP address is
weird.    Use setsockopt(SO_BINDTODEVICE) in your code.
