Actually, I was referring squid with tproxy, where we configure squid
something like as given below:
http_port 85 tproxy
http_port 86 ssl-bump cert=/extra/squid/etc/Centos6.0.pem tproxy

Yes, we need the iptables rules and squid has to listen transparently
on some ports.
But, here squid is supposed the spoof the client IP and the root web
servers should not see the client (http client machine) IP. But that
is not happening.
Secondly, it doesn't work with HTTPs traffic.

transparent proxy should be able to transparently send and receive
data without the client and servers being aware of a proxy in between.
If the web server sees the squid IP in stead of the client IP, then I
think, it is not fully transparent.
