Was this in a forward proxy or an acceleration setup?

If it was a forward set up, given that a lot of SSL sites don't like the
requesting IP to change (and I assume in anything but a LVS-NAT setup
the individual Squids make connections from individual real IP
addresses), how did you go about "encouraging" a client's connections
towards a single back end? From what I've read, the load balancing
methods focus on round-robin and least-load. Or do you just SNAT the
requests Squid makes?
