Uhm, sorry to ut in but I question why your Squid would relay requests
from non-validated clients?

On a portal you should have unlimited access to the portal splash content.

On a local stub server running in the portal DMZ or "error" splash pages
delivered by Squid itsef on a 511 status code are the best ways. Using
those methods ther DMZ firewall needs no pinholes to get to the splash
content.
