ok step by step.

under INSERT YOUR OWN RULES (/etc/squid/squid.conf) you can make an ACL which allows
only the machine with ip 192.168.0.100 to access squid-cache.

# example for 2 ip-ranges
#acl pcrange src 192.168.0.0/24 192.168.1.0/24
# for 1 ip
acl onepc src 192.168.0.100
http_access allow onepc
http_access deny all

further you want this IP only access one specific external website?

thank you

to control website access you can integrate SquidGuard.
it has blacklists for domains,urls,expressions....
but only to implement your single prob, have a look at:

When communicating over HTTP the client connects to the server on port 80. The server then send it's response on another port, which is random.

the default server port for squid is 3128 !!
