     Despite the fact it can work with some heavy tweaking as you 
pointed, it's important to have it clear that "it was NOT designed for 
that". Squid was designed to be an http/https proxy, not a general tcp 
applications one. As said, despite it can work, other solutions designed 
for that specific protocol will surely make a much better work.
