So you have the Balabit 2.6s18 patch mentioned at
 http://wiki.squid-cache.org/Features/TproxyUpdate

It's a little bit tricky at present, Balabit no longer support v2.2 and I
don't know if/where one would get the necessary patches.

Squid-2 performs detection at configure time with --enable-tproxy to see
if its supported tproxy method is available, disabling tproxy support and
warns if its not. The configure log I believe should tell you if it was
successful or failed.

Unless you able to use the old version, I don't think it will succeed
though. You may need to migrate to 3-HEAD, its beta testing code, but
stable enough for light use.
