It can. Some proxy software packages (nntpcache, for instance) allows the
admin to specify which network device requests are sent to. Makes for
nice load balancing. In the case of nntpcache, you can tell it to get all
alt.* groups over eth0 and all comp.* and misc.* groups from eth1, but
still from the same news host.
Although I don't believe squid has that functionality, it's not beyond the
realm of possibility for that sort of system to exist.
