Mainly:

* Path MTU discovery not working unless great care is taken in how the
redirection is set up (ICMP must-fragment messages must also be
redirected to the cache box).
* IE browsers not able to force a reload of the cache content since IE
does not expect a cache to be in the seemingly direct TCP/IP path, and
thus does not include the request information to tell a cache to reload
it's contents.
* Not possible to use proxy authentication, since HTTP requires the
browser to have a proxy configured for this to work.
