I don't understand how your explanation differs from mine. If the
original (i.e., destination) server is listening on port 80, that means
the packet will be destined for port 80. The packet will be redirected to
the port squid is listening on (3128 by default). Squid sees a packet
destined for port 80. Squid accepts the packet.
