Firstly you need to know there is no *exact* method. YouTube are
constantly changing their site, both to improve their service and to
fight back against admin caching the content. Once you start caching it
you will have to continuously monitor for changes and problems, then fix
them.

This is an overview of the YT problem and some workaround approaches
that have been taken to solve it:

This is the Squid-3.4 feature required to do the above workarounds for
YT and how to configure it:

Others here who are more actively working on YT specifically will
probably post more details...
