First you have to decide on how you'd like to lay out your cache
hierarchy.
* Hierarchical structure
* Flat array structure ala CARP
* Hybrid
* Other (*1)
Then you use cache_peer in your squid.conf files to specify the needed
relationships between your caches (if needed).
*1: There exists some patches to Squid for various exotic cache
relationships.
Which setup that is optimal depends on your network layout, user base,
cache sizes, browser configurations, communication costs and possibly
some unknown factors..
