[squid-users] intercepting roku traffic

i have a roku4 device and it constantly has issues causing it to 
buffer.  i want to try intercepting the traffic to see if i can smooth 
out the rough spots.  i can install squid on the router device i have 
and intercept the port 80/443 traffic, but i want to push the traffic to 
my load balanced VIP so the "real" proxies can do the fulfillment work.  
i see these steps as being needed:

setup intercept instance on router device for ports 80 and 443
     http_port 80 intercept
     http_port 443 intercept

configure cache_peer with the VIP as a parent
     cache_peer 192.168.120.1    parent    8080    0    default

with the above, i think i would get the intercepted traffic to my 
proxies, via the load balanced VIP, and be able to proxy the traffic.  
are there any glaring holes in my logic?  any help is appreciated.

thank you,

brendan
