If:

  1) these sites deny access because secure and non-secure
     requests come from different IP addresses, and

  2) you cannot make clients use the proxy for secure
     requests, and

  3) you must use interception caching, then

I think you are out of options.

(I'm not sure #1 above is necessarily true)

Hm, what are you using for interception? Perhaps you
need to NOT intercept normal HTTP requests for those
goofy sites?
