Well.. if you take the IP-Filter specific code and plug it into Squid
then no transproxy daemon is needed.

1. At initialization, open the "device"
2. Copy the ioctl to get the destination address into comm_accept
(replaces getsockname).

I think all HTTP specific functionality is already in Squid. Squid can
be configured to use Host: header if available, and fall back on IP if
not.
