Not if the requests are going to at least some forms of transparent 
proxy (such as the one the company Jerry and I both used to work for 
makes :-)).  In that case, the requests are identical to normal 
requests, as the client thinks it's talking to the origin server, not to 
a proxy.  (That's sort of what "transparent" implies, no?)
