I don't know what firewall-jay ist but sure you can bind a secondary
adress (or even more) to your interface.

Assuming a class-C subnet, the corresponding entry in
/etc/network/interfaces looks like this.

--< snip >--

auto eth1:0

iface eth1:0 inet static
    address 192.168.4.1
    netmask 255.255.255.0

--< /snap >--

Insert the above lines (omitting the snip,snap-lines) and do a 

    ifup eth1:0

After a squid restart, squid should also listen to this secondary
interface (unless it is bound to a specific address via the http_port
directive in squid.conf).
