We are running such a reverse proxy setup for several clients, but with
Exchange 2003. 2007 and 2010 make increasing use of the webservices and
autodiscover features.
I am not sure in which way these influence the way proxying needs to be
handled; at least the autodiscover feature influences the way you must
handle your DNS and certificates setup.
My suggestion: First try to do a setup with port forwarding without
squid (probably better not to do this with a real Exchange server in a
production network, though... ).
Once you have that running you are sure you got all the certificates and
DNS issues solved. Then introduce squid into the working connection (but
do not forget to eliminate the port forwarding rule first!).

Sure. For different reasons it might be advisable to run two separate
suids on one machine, though. Fore example, it is easier to track down
errors and you can monitor the services separately. On the other hand
you need to change the default configuration in several places for the
second squid (ports, IPs, logging places, PId file et cetera.)
In any case for such setups is is wise to use test environments - it
is easy to screw up your internet access and then you have a hard time
from users.
