Sorry, I did not realize you are using live Squids for these tests!
Combining real and test traffic makes triage a lot harder and pretty
much all of the tests I mentioned are nearly pointless on live Squids,
especially if those Squids handle substantially different traffic
streams. If there is no way to take these Squids offline for a test then

a) Consider starting a separate Squid instance (on each box) using the
otherwise default config with no memory cache and a dedicated http_port.

b) Consider fixing your overall architecture so that it becomes possible
to take any single Squid instance offline when needed without serious
effects on users.
