 What kind of redirector program are you using ?
 What's the normal load on squid during prod. time (url's/sec).

 You have redirector_bypass directive in squid.conf which can
 be turned on or off.
 On means that redirector will not be used if all of them are busy.
 Off = reverse of course.
  
 For squidguard I get it very infrequent (all redir's busy), I have
 redirector_bypass off (default). Because we are rather strict
 on preventing access to 'unwanted' material on the Internet.
