Yes, do NOT change the destination IP address on ANY machine except the one 
which Squid is running on.

See http://wiki.squid-cache.org/ConfigExamples/Intercept/LinuxRedirect and pay 
attention to the part which says "This configuration is given for use *on the 
squid box*."

Get the packets *to* that box however you like, but don't change them along 
the way.
