In Squid 2.6:

about-to-expire cache entries)

Yeah, those look like the Right Thing (tm) to do.

That said, I'm not personally convinced that there is much point to using 
netfilter for transparent proxying. Why not just use separate ports for 
squid and for apache?

Yeah, this is pretty trivial since one can just do redirects.  However, 
I still think a backend cache is better, since it can detach itself from 
Apache when appropriate (e.g. the background refresh scenario, or timeout.)
