Here's what I use:
refresh_pattern Packages.gz 480 20% 1440
override-lastmod override-expire ignore-reload
refresh_pattern Sources.gz 4800 40% 14400
override-lastmod override-expire ignore-reload
refresh_pattern deb$ 43200 50% 86400
The first match applies.

If you have two machines on the same ethernet then the easiest thing to do is
to NFS mount /var/cache/apt/archives. It means that you only download things
once, you can keep old versions for downgrading, and you can easily control
the amount of disk space.
But for squid, one other thing to check is the memory usage and the maximum
object size. Max object size must be less than memory usage. Max object
size is max cachable size.
Also I find that sometimes if I start a second machine doing "apt-get
install" before the first machine finishes then Squid does two downloads of
the same file (instead of just a single download).
