Okay, I did this. :-) But good to know.

I guess it would be possible for Squid to check parent's host from DNS,
and _if_ it has more than one IP-address, separate these IPs to several
parents internally. Squid does resolve all IPs for the peer from DNS
already so enhancing it a bit wouldn't be big deal(?).

This is, of course, not necessary, but would be nice enhancement in future.

Thanks Henrik,
