The answer would be "Yes, but not really". You will need more than one
Squid process.

What you can do is to set up three Squids. One main Squid which
maintains the cache, and two backend Squids which acts as application
level routers to route the requests to the correct path. All three can
be running on the same machine or on separate machines. Use
cache_peer_access to limit each path to requests from the correct
network, and tcp_outgoing_address to force the backend Squids to use the
correct outgoing interface for their requests.
