[tproxy] Squid with TProxy Support

[Eliezer Croitoru]

Centos comes with TPROXY so you don't need to recompile or do anything 
more then to bundled kernel from CentOS.
Take a small peek at this tutorial:
http://wiki.squid-cache.org/ConfigExamples/UbuntuTproxy4Wccp2
The tutorial have all the working examples that are needed for tproxy 
with squid.

If you will need more help you can try squid-users.
