I have several Squid proxy caches running in a production environment but haven't encountered any problems with the cacheable content from Windows Update "messing" up the cache. Other than the basic Windows Update page there is little cacheable content. I have Squid configured as a load-balanced array and hierarchy; however, I use the default hierarchy_stoplist and no_cache settings. Also, I don't use any redirectors. At any rate, I've not had any problems with cacheing Windows Update content that is cacheable.
