yum - webmarshal - squid NT = poos + wees

I have been fighting prob where our IT people closed up our router
access and forced http through Webmarshal proxy which chains to SquidNT.
Being a lone Linux workstation in a W2003 (apart from the FTP server
running FC4 ;) I needed to sort myself.

Yum HTTP 407 errors means proxy authentication not working.

Yum authentication to proxy works using 
#export http_proxy=http://domain\\user:password@server:8080/

Yum borks on HTTP 400 errors which I found could be resolved by adding
keepalive=0 to /etc/yum.conf

Yum comes up with [ERROR -1] header length incorrect (or similar)
This seems to be related to a malfunctioning proxy that cant handle
byte-ranged requests.

I found that if I sneaked into SquidNT and added myself to the acl
accept list (bypassing Webmarshal) all systems go! and Yum is happy
again. So now the question...

I have convinced IT to let the FC4 FTP server have direct access to
Squid (3128). The FTP server is on 10.0.0.50. How do I forward port 80
from my workstation (10.0.0.99) to the FTP server to then forward
through the squid proxy when I run Yum?
