If I understand your question you are asking for transparent redirection
of port 80 client traffic to a web cache server. This is possible but be
sure you know what you are doing if are into attemting this. Falls into
the field of woodo magic with network equipment and violation of basic
TCP/IP specifications. See the Squid FAQ on transparent caching for some
basic (and unfortunately somewhat inconsistent) information on it can be
set up.
