I suppose that if I make http redirection (to do http transparent
proxy) I'll achieve this kind of "ftp-proxy" to be transparent, too.
Am I right?

Yes. I'm aware of this.

Exact. Caching ftp really doesn't worth the pain, I think. But
perhaps may be interesting to mangle and -overall- to LOG ftp sessions
(in this way you can take exact control on which ftp commands the
client issued, the files being downloaded, etc). Main purpose is
extensive logging.
