Not mentioning that different replies from different servers would cause
squid cache different content as if it would be the same, since squid does
not differ content this way. It can differ based on HTTP headers, but not on
server the answer came from - there are many webs balanced on multiple IP
addresses and we must always assume that content is the same, unless HTTP
headers differ (and Vary: indicates which)

If you need something similar, you should set up multiple squid instances with
different caches.
