Not really.

The only network layout where this ever would be possible in a sane
manner is when the clients are not routed to the Internet and all
their traffic (and I mean all) is proxied by Squid. This becasue for
this to work the Squid server would have to spoof himself as the
client IP address when making connections to servers on the internet,
and if the same client IP is also used in other types of traffic not
via the Squid server then you quickly get a big mess in both routing
and TCP/IP..
