Well, then you're question is "is squid multi process or multi thread ?" 
if it is multi thread then no, if it is multi process then yes.

Although, you may experiment some performance problems, as far as I 
understand, squid is most of its time in syscalls, (read/write files or 
sockets) and for now, all syscalls of that kind are executed on the 
initial node, thus, performance may be quite low.

I'll be working on this problem soon though to reroute read/write 
sockets (and maybe files) to the remote node with some kind of policies, 
but for now that's not done.
