For this you basically need ICP.

Alternatively it might be possible to extend Squid with some statistics
trying to measure the "slowness" of a parent HTTP proxy to mostly avoid
very slow parents, but this is also heavily depending on the sites and
content accessed and not so easy to get correct.

Don't quite get what the requirement is here... care to give a few
examples what you refer to by "as dynamic as possible".
