Yes, I've seen lartc.org, but it doesn't seem it works for me. I can act on 2
servers : the gateway (firewall) or the proxy.

I want act on the HTTP traffic only, other traffic don't pass on the same line
(I've 2 ADSL for HTTP and 1 SDSL for other traffic).
All the HTTP traffic pass by the proxy, so the firewall doesn't know the ip
source. So, I can't act on the gateway.

I can manage either the in or the out traffic, for the proxy. If I manage the
out with some rules, I've the same problem : the ip source will be the
proxy's.

If I manage the in traffic, there is no differences between the cached
requests and the non cache requests => I lose the interest of the cache.

Yes, I'm going search this, it could be what I need.
