You are needing to look for "url_rewrite_program", and several related
directives within squid, not sure if they have added that into the
current pfSense package or not. It could of course be manually done,
but I would search for rewrite on the web configuration to see if it has
been added, as it would make sense for a firewall product setup with
reverse proxy support to include that feature. The only pfSense systems
I have are running on Alix boards, which lack the memory and CPU power
to handle Squid so I haven't tested out the Squid package, on it myself.
