This is in no way TYPO3 specific. See a generic documentation on how to 
set up Squid as a (reverse) proxy for websites. Plus the article on 
cache control headers in 3.8

Why would one want to do this? The purpose of the proxy is that 
(pseudo-)static pages are cached and everything else fetched from the 
web server.
Of course, you can mirror your web server statically and redirect 
dynamic stuff with mod_rewrite, but I would not expect any advantages 
from this setup compared to squid or mod_proxy. Plus you have to do the 
mirroring yourself for every site update...
