I have never used WCCP but looking at the squid wiki I would expect connections to the Intranet from the client to go via the LAN (bypassing squid) anyway (that assumes not client configuration). There are a number of methods to bypass certain addresses or networks. The simplest of which would be to add exclusions into the web browser proxy configuration directly. I use WPAD on the installations I do and it works very well (IE can have a stupid quirk if you have not previously used a proxy on your LAN though). http://serverfault.com/questions/54567/internet-explorer-isnt-auto-discovering-http-wpad-wpad-dat-auto-config/313284#313284
