As far as you see server1 and server2 URLs in Squid's access.log file, Squid
is caching those objects. If you are not sure, you can try to use your IE
browser to access the same object and trace the log file. If you got a
"TCP_HIT" or "TCP_MEM_HIT" message, it means you have achieved it. :)

No, you don't have to do so. "1-1 mapping" means you can map one URL to
another unique URL which is not necessary to be the same URL. You can
redirect a URL to any other internal server's URL. Hence, the "server1" and
"server2" redirect scheme you have mentioned in previous email should work
nicely as far as Squid knows how to resolve the hostnames to the internal
server's real IP addresses. Another possible scheme could be mapping
different URLs into the same internal server but different directories. Eg.
^http://www.shopping.com ==> http://server.internal.other.com/static
^http://www.buying.com ==> http://server.internal.other.com/dynamic
Though the mapping destination is to the same server hostname, but the
different directories can easily tell the URLs apart, so Squid won't get
confused.
Cheers!
