Squid-2.7 with storeurl_rewrite is what you want to be using. It's created
expressly for doing what you do.

Only instead of making its own copy of the video and redirecting to that it
uses your re-writer to combine URLs so the multiple names for each
identical video are cached as one.

Worst case if you can't move to 2.7, is that you need to make the web
server providing the local copy send the right headers so the video can be
cached by Squid only when arriving from the local server.
