Squid offers a few ways to keep a sibling relationship between caches,
so that if content is available on one of the systems, the others will
know and fetch it there if possible instead of going to the parent
server.
Blindly replicating content across caches is not possible in the way
you describe - more similar to how databases work.

See http://wiki.squid-cache.org/Features/CacheHierarchy for more details.
