As another user said, if you know the addresses of each proxy then it is
better to define one cache_peer per parent.

The round-robin flag controls how Squid selects which cache_peer to use
when you have multiple cache_peer lines in your squid.conf.

If there us multiple addresses known for a destination (server or peer)
then Squid always round-robins over the known addresses when trying to
talk to this host.
