An HTTP request to a proxy looks different to a request direct to the
origin server. (It includes the host name in the Request line, etc.)
So, I don't think you can transparently redirect requests to squid: just
run it as a proxy, allow access from inside, and don't worry about
masq/ipfw aside from that. I may be wrong.
Better I think to get people to set up manual/autoproxies per aj. I
don't think the http_accel option is relevant.
