Depends on which kind of cache_dir distribution is being used. My
favorite for the time beeing is a modified CARP distribution.

See above ;-)
Seriously, once one has made up his mind on how situations like this
should be resolved, making it behave in the desired way will not be very
hard. cache_dir selection is a very isolated piece of the code, so it is
easy to experiment with different algorithms there.
Note: There are two goals of all this restructuring being discussed:
* To make Squid a viable platform for research again, to allow trying
different approaches at many different levels.
* Bring the code up to a reasonable performance level, given what is
known today on how to better design a networking server/proxy.
