Well, first thoughts:

1) if you want to redirect everything coming to from squid, use network
layer interception. It exists, and works. It has issues - but no more
than 100% alteration via squid itself.
2) iCAP is an evolving standard to do inline content alteration within
squid or other such tools - there is a patch for squid to act as an iCAP
client.
3) I've no real idea of what you want to achieve, that tcpdump won't do
for you. Perhaps if you were do describe what you want to *achieve* we
could more accurately critique the design.
