I'd recommend a setup without redirectors.

Basic accelerator configuration template:

# Set up acceleration on port 80
cache_port 80
httpd_accel_host your.main.domain
httpd_accel_port 80
httpd_accel_uses_host_header on
httpd_accel_with_proxy on

# Allow cachemgr access
acl cachemgr protocol cache_object
acl managers src 127.0.0.1
http_access allow cachemgr managers
http_access deny cachemgr

# Allow manager stations to PURGE content from the accelerator
acl PURGE method PURGE
http_access allow PURGE managers
http_access deny PURGE

# Allow access to accelerated servers
acl myservers dst ip.of.server.1 ip.of.server.2 ...
acl HTTP protocol HTTP
acl port80 port 80
http_access allow HTTP myservers port80

# Deny all other uses of the accelerator
http_access deny all

# Cache configuration
cache_dir ...
cache_dir ...
cache_dir ...

# Tunings
half_closed_clients off
range_offset_limit -1
...

Then add your accelerated domains to /etc/hosts with the IP addresses of
your real servers and change the DNS entries of the accelerated domains
to the address of your Squid server.

Alternatively to using /etc/hosts you can set up a private DNS server
for Squid to use, returning the real IP addresses of your servers to
Squid. This is probably easier if you have a lot of domains and want
flexibility in adding/removing domains or moving them between different
real web servers.
