I've figured out my problem: I need to load the iptable_nat module.  Thanks
for your help.

Jan, regarding the tcp_outgoing_address in Squid:
I'm guessing you need it because Squid, by default, binds sockets to 0.0.0.0.
This means that when you try to do a TPROXY_ASSIGN, it will fail
(specifically, setsockopt() will with errno = EINVAL).  Maybe you're
referring to something else entirely, in which case you should just
disregard my comment.
