Sorry for taking up your bandwidth it looks like I am looking for something
impossible at this moment.

The http reply has to go back **INTO** the Bridge/Squid box, so that it can
make
a cache copy, as such the http reply to the http request will have to ROUTE
out
from the bridge/squid box ( verses BRIDGE ).

Unless some enhancement is made to do some kind of "connection tracking",
and thus reply the packet back to the mac address of the original requests.
