Since spoofing client IP addresses is common for many working Squid
interception setups doing HTTP, it has to be technically possible (i.e.,
"legal" in your terminology). Unfortunately, I do not know enough
low-level details to guide you further. Most likely, the FTP-specific
Squid code facilitating IP spoofing is buggy or you are doing something
wrong (or both).

FWIW, IIRC, FTP interception code has worked for many folks.

Let's hope that somebody with a working FTP interception setup speaks up.

Alex.
