yes it is possible,  but squid can block clients which are on same subnet and moreover you have to compile squid with --enable-arp-acl
now the acl should like like this in squid.conf

Code: [Select]

acl comp1 arp 01:02:03:04:05:06
acl comp2 arp 11:12:13:14:15:16
http_access allow comp1
http_access allow comp2
http_access deny allAbove will only allow computer with above two mac.
