Yes, SSL Bump can be used in a transparent environment. 

Due to a large number of certificate warnings, complex sites that use 
multiple secure servers on one page are barely usable without dynamic 
SSL certificate generation though.

Can you explain this part please? We currently have a production squid 2.6-20 
server in non-transparent mode with AD authentication, to proxy http and https 
traffic for 600 users. As part of our migration to wireless, we are 
investigating going to an entirely transparent proxy, using WCCP2 on a Cisco 
C6500 to redirect traffic. I realize we will lose authentication, but instead 
plan to use ACLs based on source VLAN, and rely on DHCP/radius logs to track 
specific requests to user auth where necessary (not often). 

Our current server sees ~120 req/s with 600 users and a 1Gbps link (although 
usage is typically only 30Mbps sustained). Will SSL Bump and dynamic cert 
generation allow us to replace our current proxy with fully transparent on 
squid 3.1? Does the cert generation result in a performance hit? 

Thanks.
