You don't need to cluster Squif, just a bunch of more or less independent servers all behind a load balancer scheduling the load an monitoring the servers disabling faulty ones. (i.e. what any load balancer you can find does..). You already mentioned LVS and for LVS the ldirectord load balancer manager does a good job. But you may want to load balancer to be clustered in active/standby mode. WCCP also does all of this quite fine, and is a good choice if the proxies are doing transparent interception of port 80.
