  Yes, but each always needs to be invoked with its own configuration
file explicitly specified. Here's a real example of the rc.local on a
machine where I'm doing that:

 # ...
 if [ -x /usr/local/squid/bin/squid ]; then
        echo -n ' squid'; /usr/local/squid/bin/squid
 fi
 # ...
 # Special configuration of squid that runs in memory file system (RAM disk)
 if [ -x /usr/local/squid2/etc ]; then
        # Clear cache in memory file system
        /usr/local/squid/bin/squid -f /usr/local/squid2/etc/squid.conf -z
        echo -n ' squid2 (mfs)'; /usr/local/squid/bin/squid -f /usr/local/squid2/etc/squid.conf
 fi

  You also need to specify the configuration file every time you invoke
it to send a signal, so that it gets directed to the correct squid. E.g.

 /usr/local/squid/bin/squid -f /usr/local/squid2/etc/squid.conf -k shutdown

  In this case, the second squid, on port 8080 is configured to use as
a parent the first, on port 3128, so that I could experiment with
configuring a cache hierarchy with cache digests.
