Hey Nicolas,
Can we change the way we are looking at the subject?
You first need to figure out the right way to send packets between the
"client" and the "server".
After this connection will be intact you will be able to configure the
other things such as interception the right way.
As a starter since the "server" has a public IP and the "client" has a
public IP it will be pretty easy to use a simple tunnel such as
ipip,sit,gre between the client and the server.
Then on the client side mark and then route traffic from the client to
the server without any DNAT\REDIRECT rules which is the best way to
handle this situation.
In your case TPROXY is not an option since the server cannot use the
client IP address for public use (probably due to routing policies
around the globe).
A good place to start is at:
http://www.linuxfoundation.org/collaborate/workgroups/networking/tunneling
http://tier.cs.berkeley.edu/drupal/howto/ip-tunnel-using-gre-on-linux
The above doesn't give you enough on basic routing which could be very
simple using "ip rule" and connection marking.
If you do not have a clue about it I will try to give you a real life
example I have used in the past to do this trick.
One of the examples I have used gre tunnel is for wccp interception
which should be similar to your setup but with a public IP addresses
classes mixed with local ones.

If you want I will be next evening(19 Jul) in the squid irc channel at
freenode:

Unfortunately, this one neither seems to make a difference. On the squid
box, the squid daemon is run by user proxy so I got the UID and replaced
it in the rule you provided:
# id proxy
uid=13(proxy) guid=13(proxy) groups=13(proxy)
So on the client box:
iptables -t nat -A OUTPUT --match owner --uid-owner 13 -p tcp
--dport 80 -j ACCEPT
Then I appended the DNAT rule.
However, I should have (re)mentioned it: Additionally to have different
public IP addresses, both the client box and the squid box are on
different networks (basically the squid box is located in a different
country than the client box). Should that make a difference?
Depends on how the packets get from one country to another. These are
the fundamental limits on packet handling:
1) There MUST NOT be any NAT manipulation of the packets destination IP
prior to their arrival on the Squid machine.
- However, source-IP:port manipulation as done by gateway machines
NATing outbound traffic from internal private source-IP to public ranges
is okay.
2) a network interface tunnel should not be producing OUTPUT chain
packets. Traffic arriving through that type of tunnel should be dealt
with as per packets arriving on a standard NIC.
- Traffic arriving via application layer gateway (another proxy, or
userland VPN client) *might* go through the OUTPUT chain and need
handling as if sourced internally.
3) if the packets contain HTTP in port-80 syntax the "intercept" or
"tproxy" option is mandatory which one depending on method of capture.
- If the packets were destined *to another proxy* Squid does not
require the "intercept" option to receive.
Also if you wish, I can run squid with the -N -d options and send you
the output log, so you probably will rapidly know what else could be
happening there.
"debug_options 11,2" in squid.conf is going to provide you with a good
trace to see what is happening. Better than access.log will in these
circumstances.

I've made a trace to see what's happening and this is the result. I've
removed the duplicate requests for better readability. I've also
obfuscated the IPs to make them match the example above (A.B.C.D ->
client's public IP, E.F.G.H -> server's public IP).

[HTTP error page saying "Access denied"]
From what I see, squid makes several times requests to itself instead
of redirecting the request outside. Shouldn't there be a rule
redirecting that traffic to the internet? On the server side I have no
such rule right now.
