Squid currently can't do that. It did once in a time (the Squid-1.1
series) but was changed to the current behaviour because of other memory
usage performance problems (it was a bit to keen on using memory).
Squid will quite likely be changed to again cache TCP_HIT's in memory
some time, but I cannot give you a date when this will happen. Hopefully
sometime this year.
