I do not know. I recommend the following procedure:

1. Start with just one outgoing IP address (that is not the default!)
and make that work well first. Does all from-Squid traffic originate at
that alternative IP address?

2. Move to two outgoing IP addresses (none of which is the default!) and
make that work well. Do you get a nice 50/50 distribution?

3. Use three IP addresses. This step will allow you to test your script.
Again, make sure everything works very well before you proceed any
further. Do measure the actual IP probabilities for a large number of
transactions to verify that your configuration is correct. You should
see ~33% of transactions using each alternative IP.

4. Move on to 1000 IP addresses. Check again.
