See if cache_peer_access helps you to send HTTP requests through
one upstream proxy and CONNECT (=https) requests through another one.

You can use round-robin cycling (see cache_peer). I personally don't
believe in such obfuscation. And actually it breaks some applications
which rely on that a certain session ID (often stored in a cookie)
is only sending requests from a fixed IP address.
