Thank you, this makes perfect sense. So redirectors like squidGuard,
albeit very useful for my purposes, are really taking advantage (in a
sense) of the original purpose of the redirector design requirement in
squid?

So if I understand correctly, one use for a redirector could be for load
balancing on a network, is this correct? If so and if not, how else
might the redirector be used, aside from blocking purposes?
