Hello Martin,
The protocol your refering to is WCCP. Check out the doc (or a key word
search on CCO) for more details.
WCCPv1 has been submitted to the IETF already. There is a version for Squid.
WCCPv2 is currently licensed. Some of the major WWW Caching vendor have
licensed WCCPv2, so they have the tools - whether or not they've coded it is
something you'll need to talk to them individually.
