If you read the original post, he mentions squid terminating when network goes
down.
No clients get stuck at the nonfunctioning squid in a cache-hierarcy. They
would move on to the next one as is, since that one is already marked as dead
and removed from roundrobin pool. So that feature is built-in already (if I am
not misunderstanding your scenario).
