It's not as hard as you think! Just make the the squid box the gateway
and run the following iptables command:

iptables -t nat -I PREROUTING -p tcp -i <ethx for internal connection>
--dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port <ip address of gateway>:<port that
squid listens on>

This requires no changes on any web browser that uses that gateway
machine, i.e., transparent.
