Not possible with Squid (in a way that keeps you mentally sane). Let the
web servers use the X-Forwarded-For header instead or use this hack in the
Apache config if you are dealing with CGIs:

SetEnvIf X-Forwarded-For (.*) REMOTE_ADDR=$1

Some dedicated hardware may handle that but those are usually also OSI
layer 2 switches. Squid is "just" a layer on top of TCP/IP.
