Yes, I'm still really interested to implement this. I got as far as
doing some investigation a few weeks back. It seems *most* of the
groundwork is there. I think there is space to store the incoming client
connection mark, there are facilities to set the outgoing upstream mark
(to an acl value). What is needed is:
- code to connect the two, ie set a default outgoing mark
- some thought on handling connection pipelining and re-use. At present
squid maintains a pool of connections say to an upstream proxy, these
now need to be selected not just because they are idle, but also because
they have the correct connection mark set. This looks do-able, but
slightly more tricky
