Great.

Which is such a great feature that it has already been contributed by another
user and is included in Squid-2.5.

Also supports setting the ToS/DS of traffic initiated by Squid, but as you
probably know this will only have effect on the packets sent by Squid, not
return traffic..

What has not been done in this area is to set ToS/DS on return traffic sent by
Squid to the clients, a way to read the ToS/DS of received requests (seems
not to be supported by the TCP/IP kernels), or to support selection of ToS/DS
and/or outgoing IP address based on authenticated username.
