Yes, there's an irony in having two separate features that are in effect 
opposites of each other :)

Going back to the original problem... there may be another solution. Squid 
supports several kinds of inter-cache communication - ICP, HTCP and CARP. 
It may be helpful to try setting up some of these to spread the workload 
and direct requests to the server that has the freshest content. This in 
combination with some kind of intelligent balancing might be the best 
solution for this use case.
