Which you probably can't do.
If the CONNECT verb is provided to squid with an ip address rather than
a hostname, no proxy can do what you are asking.
If a hostname is provided, then the same host->ip lookup path is
followed as for http:// requests.

Check access.log. If you see CONNECT ipaddress:443 then you need to look
at using a redirectory to alter the requested IP address.
If you see CONNECT hostname:443, then please log a bug in bugzilla.
