I don't quite get how you want the relations between the two.. should
users connect to one or both?

From your configs it looks like users always connect to the Squid on the
same server as the web server. Under these conditions it won't generally
help to have this Squid bounce the requests to yet another Squid.

What you can do to improve performance is to have another server also
accept requests from the users, and forward them to the web server.

But most importantly you need to diagnose why things gets slow. So I'll
follow up with a bit of questions focusing on your first server for now:

* Is there any swap activity under load?
* How is the Squid cache configured?
* What is the primary load condition? CPU? I/O? Memory?
