You can have squid include the client IP in the HTTP request header by
ensuring you have "forwarded_for" set to "on". That will make squid
include

        X-Forwarded-For: <client-ip>

in the HTTP header.

If you want the IP packet sorce address to be the browser ip address then
don't let the browser use squid for those web sites. Make the browser go
direct.
