The needed code may be part of firewall implementations or similar
products for Digital UNIX if you can't find a freeware that works

Even if you can't find TCP port redirection to your cache host you can
always build a smaller system using another operating system for which
you can find TCP port redirection, and use this system as a reflector to
the backend cache. There even exists hardware gadgets which can act as
such reflectors (TCP level switches with address translation or even
transparent HTTP proxying).

Good news is that if wpad gets broad acceptance, then transparent
proxying will perhaps not be that much needed.
