Hi Jason,

a search for terminating proxy brought up the fact that since version 2.5 squid 
is capable of proxying transparent https connections. 
http://wiki.squid-cache.org/SquidFaq/CompleteFaq#head-593dae4b6b740816917a6cc2ce5854d3d43624ee

I will give it a try. 
Thanks for your answers.

Cheers,
Manuel
