Squid is a proxy, it teals with application data transmitted by TCP.
Packets and TCP is a TCP/IP kernel thing.

Sure, what you ask can in theory be done with a lot of "black magic", but
it will never be pretty. Study the basic packet flow of TCP/IP and you
will understand some of the problems involved, and then there is a whole
lot more to it..
