Do not re-write, that can corrupt the client cache state which is
particularly bad for intercepted traffic.

Use 30x HTTP redirect responses instead. That can be setup with an ACL
and deny_info, or by sending 30x status code from the url_rewrite helper.

Either. NAT and TPROXY meet different requirements - such as the traffic
type (IPv4 / IPv6), how transparent you want it (NAT = half transparent,
TPROXY = fully transparent), and what your skill level configuring
packet routing are (beginners ... NAT, experts ... TPROXY).
