[squid-users] Multiple Parent Proxies

Hello all,
My name is Brian, I have a problem that I hope to configure squid to
solve, but I'm not really sure where to begin if its even possible.
This is the scenario I have, around the world I have many proxy servers,
each serving one subnet and one subnet only. Now to access the
computers in these subnets you must go through the proxy associated with
them. Due to restrictive software on the client end that I cant change,
I need one permanent proxy server hardcoded into the client machine, but
I would like the ability to access any one of these subnets, and
possibly more than one at once. What I was hoping to achieve, was to
put another proxy running squid between the client and the WAN that
would act as the permanent proxy that the client computer is pointing
to, but would redirect traffic to another proxy server based on subnet,
so that proxy could do its job. I thought I saw something that looked
promising here:
http://wiki.squid-cache.org/ConfigExamples/Reverse/MultipleWebservers ,
but I'm not sure if there is a way to switch from domain to subnet, and
if the servers it redirects to is another proxy or the actual final
destination.

Thank you for your time and help,
Brian
