Here: http://lwn.net/Articles/92727/ I found this workaround:

---snip---
With kernel 2.6.17.13 or higher, you can also do:

THEIR_IP=1.2.3.4
MY_GATEWAY=5.6.7.8

ip route add $THEIR_IP/32 via $MY_GATEWAY window 65535

which only limits window scaling for that destination without
interfering with your other connections

---end snip---

Any thoughts? Better or worse than the other?

What OS are you running squid-2 over?
