You could do this a couple ways, round robin DNS would half do it, but would not take one out of rotation if it failed. We have 8 proxies and use a Cisco Local Director to do this. Not cheap but effective. I'm sure there are other sources of similar devices. I belive there is a package that would allow you to do basically the same thing. Another option would be to do round robin DNS and have shell scripts on each that check the other and recycle Squid or even reboot the server if it senses failure i.e. unable to retrive a page or connect to the proxy port.
