Basic setup:
http://wiki.squid-cache.org/SquidFaq/ReverseProxy#head-7fa129a6528d9a5c914f8dd5671668173e39e341

Load balancing:
http://wiki.squid-cache.org/SquidFaq/ReverseProxy#head-81d06e5a0d3a3ed4bdf7a7cb9077370a7b02bfaf

for failover, simply don't specify a load balancing method. For clarity
you can mark the preferred one with default but the order in squid.conf
does pretty much the same..

Cache:
see cache_dir, cache_mem and FAQ on memory usage.

cache_dir: http://www.squid-cache.org/Doc/config/cache_dir/
cache_mem: http://www.squid-cache.org/Doc/config/cache_mem/
How much memory do I need in my Squid server?
http://wiki.squid-cache.org/SquidFaq/SquidMemory#head-09818ad4cb8a1dfea1f51688c41bdf4b79a69991

There isn't very much documentation on the https support unfortunately,
but it's pretty much the same except for https_port (and corresponding
certificates) and the ssl option to cache_peer if the backend is using
https as well.

There is some https examples in the wiki
