 Please define "more intelligently".

 The order of cache_dir in squid.conf, their available free space,
 configurable min/max object size limits, and 'load' (aka current I/O
 speed where available) are all considered when selecting a dir. The big
 limitation is that some dir types (ie UFS and diskd) are not able to
 feed certain details like I/O waiting times into the load balancing.
