We have our reasons. I agree it sounds strange.

Yes, it seems to do the handshake properly. All traffic (when
accessing http://mycache.net and https://mycache.net) goes to
https://cached.mycache.net/ when I specify port 433 and "ssl" in
cache_peer options.

Would I be better off just running two instances of Squid on
different ports, one for http and one for https?
