I use Client -> Squid ->Interscan -> Internet. Works well.

If you need to "hide" the interscan, do Client -> Squid -> Interscan ->
non-caching Squid.

There may be some performance benefits to the latter as well if it's a big
pipe. I feel squid is more efficient at pulling the data down - strictly
subjective though, I have done no real tests.
