This is because transparent proxies strip traffic, either via ipchains, ipfilter, wccp, route-maps, or some other routing trick. Some of these methods change the destination address, others just change the next hop address. When the packet is then delivered to the caching software it has the destination ip address of the cache server. When the caching software gets the packet the only clue it has as to what to get is the HTTP request header which is then backfilled to either the wccp device or the original source address depending on the design.
