Strictly speaking there's a well-known hack available to do that, at
least for transparent interception mode.

Ie:

* You have a list of hostnames and/or IPs which are "direct";
* Squid would be modified to listen for requests for those sites,
  issue a temporary redirect back to the same URL (so the UA retries
  the request), and installs a temporary ip filtering rule to bypass
  Squid on further requests to that IP address
* Rule times out after a while

(No, I didn't come up with that. :)

Who wants a simple project? :)
