PS. You could achieve the same thing using two proxies. One to cache and
one to AV scan.

Something much like this:

workers 2

# frontend worker (proxy)
if ${process_number} = 1
 http_port 3128
 cache_peer localhost parent 8080 0 no-query
endif

# backend worker (cache)
if ${process_number} = 2
 http_port localhost:8080
 visible_hostname backend.local
 forwarded_for transparent
 # traffic is expected only to come from the other worker
 http_access deny !localhost

 cache_dir ...
 # config specific to the caching

endif
...
# shared config, including the RESPMOD pre-cache AV scanning callouts.
