covered in the rest of what I wrote earlier.

Policy routing. AKA make default gateway for port 80 traffic from each
client be the Squid box.
 The easiest way to do that is to simply make Squid box the default
gateway for all clients, and have only Squid box aware of the real
gateway. Requires the Squid box be able to handle the full network
traffic load.
 Harder way is setting default gateway for only port 80 traffic be the
Squid box rest going to real gateway.

Correct. And you have done that mangling with "-j DNAT" on the client
machines. Squid box does not have access to those client machines
kernels to un-mangle.

Domains do not always resolve to the same IPs. We see a lot of
false-negative results from Host verification for Google and Akamai
hosted domains due to the way they rotate, geo-base, and IP-base DNS
results in real-time. Thus the fallback to original IP.
