Questions about transparent proxying

Hi,

I've read up the squid FAQ a little about the setup of transparent proxying
and have a couple of questions. We have a Cisco 7200 which is doing the
actual transparency/rerouting of the packets which are obviously destined
for port 80 on another machine.

* Can we have the Cisco specify the port on the Squid machine that the
packets are destined for? [Ok, this is a Squid mailing list I know, but
I'm sure others have Cisco products and are doing transparent proxying with
Squid and may know whether the Cisco is capable of this or not]

* If the answer is "yes", then on Solaris using Squid 2.1PATCH2, do we need
to use the IPFilter package? I'm asking because I don't quite understand
the relationship between IPFilter and the --enable-ipf-transparent compile
option in Squid, and if these two options are used together or whether we
can choose to use either...

Thanks,
Reuben
