If its just between proxies, using HTTP messages. Then header should be
usable. This only falls over when you have non-HTTP hops involved. eg,
thats exactly how the X-Forwarded-For, Forwarded, and Via headers are
designed to operate.

TOS is the only way from Squid to send custom signals across non-HTTP
connections between machines. But Squid itself cannot receive the TOS
values. So that gets tricky.
