Sorry. This is not a job for Squid. Squid is a caching web proxy. Now you
can add routing software and other stuff on your box but that is outside
the scope of squid.

The tcp_outgoing_address is just to configure what IP interface to use for
outgoing connections. This is used by Squid to connect to the remote
servers. In your case I think you can easily accomplish this with two
(smaller?) proxies (talking with ICP or cache digests to each other) and
select the right proxy on your clients (or use automatic proxy
configuration that looks at the clients IP and selects the right proxy
based on that)
