.....which i tried from the acl list in squid but nothings working.....

I've not had much experience with a proxy server, but is there any specific reason you're not using the box as a router instead?

If you use iptables and Masquerade the packets you should be fine.

That's the way use our Linux box here.

u can also use tcpdump to know which ports are being used for ur java applications. check if they are on the squid safe ports acl list.

# tcpdump -eth0 host 192.168.x.x

or if the traffic is just rolling ur screen, u can save this output to a file.

# tcpdump -eth0 host 192.168.x.x > javaanalysis.file

We use both iptables based firewall and squid, with complex restrictions and acls on both, but we have not faced problems with yahoo pools.

try understanding the exact problem, also try by flushing all the rules on iptables and see if it works.
