Well, people are already doing that where its suitable. Whats really
missing for those sorts of setups is a simple(!) storage-only backend
and some smarts in Squid to be able to push and pull stuff out of a
shared storage backend, rather than relaying through it.
The trouble, as I've found here, is if you're trying to aggregate a
bunch of forward proxy squid instances on one box through one backend
squid instance - all of a sudden you end up with lots of RAM wastage
and things die at high loads with all the duplicate data floating
around in socket buffers. :/
