Once I maintained 200+ Squid boxes for reverse proxies.
No squid, but copying files each by each with those number of physics servers?
That's a horrible job.
Also Squid answers most objects from its memory, that's faster than
from disk like Apache does.
If your squid box is far away from original server, then using a
suitable cache_peer cluster is worth a try.
