Squid load balances between cache_peer by default.

Right now it is using virtual host details (dstdomain ACL) in
cache_peer_access to explicitly route to the specific originserver
instead of LB.

If you can describe clearly in words the details of exactly what you
want Squid to do that should turn out to be what you need to configure.
