FYI, you cannot have multiple CNAME for test.squid.cluster pointing at 
different Squid server names. So this should not be a problem.


In Kerberos:
* Setup your keytab entry for HTTP/test-squid-cluster.dyn-zone@REALM.
* export the HTTP/test-squid-cluster.dyn-zone@REALM keytab to each proxy

In DNS:
* Add as many proxy as you want to test-squid-cluster.dyn-zone with A or 
AAAA records in DNS.
* point any domains you want those proxy to be acting as a CDN to 
test-squid-cluster.dyn-zone using CNAME in DNS.
