Hi again.
The thought of building another server to put WSUS was just a bit much for me and an idea came to use squid to do this. Unfortunatly my efforts have resulted in failure. Im sure squid should be able to do this.
I have searched the forums and found the following thread that looked promising.

I have used the following commands to rebuid squid
squid -k
no success
service squid stop
squid -z
service squid start
still nothing.
I am using windows update as the test.
thanks for taking a look at this.
