[SQU] Using SQUID to redirect queries

I have a number of web hosts at the end of a fairly slow and unreliable
link. I am considering setting up a SQUID accelerator for all of the sites
at a co-location site with fast connectivity.

The problem is that users who are also at the end of the one of the local
stubs and served by my ISP will be forced to traverse the slow
international link twice to visit my web-hosted pages. Not good.

Can I do this:
1. Have main web server host.sub1.domain.com
2. Configure a mirror web server at the co-location - say
host.sub2.domain.com
3. Setup Squid as accelerator for www.domain.com
4. Specify rules in Squid which determines, based on source IP address,
whether the request is redirected to "original server" to "co-location
server"
Or should I not mirror servers and Squid select between "original server"
and accelerator?

I am of the opinion that this is possible. How would this be effected?

Thanks for assistance
