Transparent caching really would be a poor solution. But if you have to, you
could maybe use a linux box with its transparent proxy features. Then you'll
have to change the request as it comes in from e.g. GET /fred.html to GET
http://host/fred.html using the IP address to determine the "host" part.
Then send that to squid running as normal on e.g. port 3128.
I suppose then clients who are aware of the cache could configure their
browser to use squid directly.
But I don't know anyone who's done this, so you'd have to write it yourself.
