It is best done at the node which has all the information. Things are
not really as simple as HIT/MISS.

You will also need TOS pass-thru features enabled in the kernel to
propigate the TOS from the squid-upstream packets to the client(s)-squid
packets. Although in you could also map the upstream TOS to a netfilter
MARK value and pass it through Squid then map it to TOS value on the
other connection(s).
