You then need 3 Squids running. The authentication schemes configuration
is global, shared by all ports.

The easiest is to install three Squids with different prefixes given to
configure. You then only need to make sure they do not share any ports.

If you use a single binary then at least the following needs to be set
uniquely in each config:

   http_port
   icp_port (if not disabled)
   snmp_port (if not disabled)
   pid_filename
   cache_dir (if not using null)
   cache_log
   cache_access_log
   store_log (if not disabled)
