        If it did:

        - it would be forging it;

        - the responses would go direct to the client, not to the cache,
          so they couldn't be cached (this would also thoroughly confuse
          the client TCP stack as it would be expecting acknowledgements
          from squid, not the actual site).

        Squid does provide the source IP address, as an extra header,
        but the destination systems needs to look for this and be
        prepared to trust it.
