I will have to try and run a tcpdump on the edge router itself when I
get off work today, but the Wireshark from my Squid box showed the
ICMPv6 'too big' originating from my edge router's LAN port with a
destination address of my client machine.

Is there a Squid config option to modify MTU? I didn't see anything
except the PMTU discovery, but perhaps it would be a beneficial
addition to allow specifying MTU? I'm not even certain how much work
that would be as I haven't looked through the Squid src myself; just a
thought.

I don't know if Squid had already processed the packets for re-writing
before Wireshark displays them or not, so I'll check a tcpdump at the
router itself to see where it originally directed the packet to before
my Squid box had any chance to mangle it.
