But I only have one site that I'm proxying, so the non-domain part of all URLs 
cached is exactly the same.  http://www.domain.com/object.html is exactly the 
same as http://squid1.domain.com/object.html.

Great!  Didn't know that tool exists.  It is certainly one way to precache.

My squids sit in front a dynamic imaging server that often takes 10-15 seconds 
to generate the resulting image.  I don't want my customers to have to wait for 
these images, so I precache for them.
