Squid receiving IP (myip) and sending IP (tcp_outgoing_address) are
re-evaluated for every single outgoing connection. There is no caching
of IPs involved.

Perhapse you have a 10-20 minute cycle on DNS IPs which your browser is
using to connect to Squid with.

Perhapse you have persistent connections in use, which may cause a
particular link to or from Squid to be re-used for different requests.

Perhapse what you are tying to do is not good network engineering.
Why is it so very important to you that in/out IPs are forcibly linked?
