Ok. Then you will need

1. http_port and https_port lines matching the ports the server is
listening on.

2. Suitable certificates for each https_port line.

3. A cache_peer line per backend server port, using the ssl flag on the
SSL encrypted ones.. Use the name= option to specify the same server
host name/address more than once..

3. cache_peer_access rules routing the right requests to the right
server...

acl port80 port 80
cache_peer_access server1_port80 allow port80

Remember that Squid is a proxy for the origin server, and will terminate
the client SSL connection to be able to inspect and proxy the HTTP
request within..
