Sounds to me like an issue for QoS and the ZPH patch to Squid.

The ZPH patch for 3.0 was withdrawn only due to policy reasons, and can be
found at:
http://www.squid-cache.org/Versions/v3/3.0/changesets/b8770.patch
It has not been extensively tested. There should not be any kernel patches
needed for what you want to do, just configuring the outbound QoS marker
on outbound youtube requests (dstdomain .youtube.com).
