Yes some have tried before. They met a major problem:
No current release of squid can share its disk-cache with any external
application (including other squid).
You can link a SAN-type share and allocate a space for each squid to
read/write as its cache_dir. But that does not solve the
object-duplication. And I believe some SAN have RAID backup? that may
cause problems by itself.
Duplication can be prevented or at least reduced by balancing the squid as
sibling peers with proxy-only option, and preferring sibling-fetch over
direct-fetch.
