This should be easily achieved by simply spawning a second squid
process. to temporarily handle the traffic while the primary squid is
reloading the conf.

Similar to how it works if you had a parent proxy that was reloading,
the sibling ignores it and bypasses it until it returns to normal
operation.

Im not a programmer, ive no idea how the devels would implement it, but
thats an idea.
