Um ...

The basic/default configuration of Squid does not involve IP assignments
at all. Just a listening port (3128) receiving all traffic sent to that
port on any IP that machine has been configured to use (including
localhost, local-scope, link-local, etc).

Listening on just one IP:port is an optional extra you have to configure
explicitly. That can be manually repeated for multiple IPs.

You can also configure Squid to listen on a hostname:port and setup DNS
to have a few IPs for that hostname. For when you want multiple IPs but
not everything assigned to the machine.
