No.

You can pass HTTP information to cache_peer's but you cannot force
operating-system actions to occur on that peer.

You will need to configure the cache_peer specifically to act on certain
triggers in the HTTP information (such as X-Forwarded-For or X-Client-IP
headers).

Provided you don't block such information from being passed on by your
Squid the peer will be able to use it.
