That depends on how the containers are configured. Modern Squid use mDNS
or regular DNS name lookup for cache_peer.

So long as the containers have different IPs each, the (m)DNS can
provide those to hostname looks, and your network setup allows them to
communicate there should be no difference between a bunch of VMs,
containers, hardware devices, or any combo you want.


With squid.conf using ${process_name} you could also mix in multi-tenant
instead of containerizing the Squid.
