Read the info regarding the setup of a transparent proxy under following
URL:

http://squid.visolve.com/white_papers/trans_caching.htm

The policy routing can be done by WCCP which is available if you use a
router which supports that. Some pages in the web explain the setup quite
good. For WCCPv1 follow the link

http://www.sublime.com.au/squid-wccp/

For WCCPv2 the setup is a bit different. Main information regarding this
setup please see under:

Alexander
