You sure can. Same restrictions on both versions in that they cannot share
ports or cache. If the instances are configured to not share anything then
running more than one is no problem, and has never been.

Please remember that you need to have all ports unique, not only the
http_port. You also need to care for any ICP, SNMP or HTCP ports your Squid's

You need to use .aol.com for matching a domain. Without the leading dot it
only matches the exact host name. This has been a bit inconsistent in earlier
Squid releases.
