This should clear you:
http://www.squid-cache.org/Doc/Users-Guide/detail/accel.html

a simple Perl script is enough:

#!/usr/bin/perl
   $|=1;
   while (<>) {
       s@http://www2.domain1.com@http://www.domain1.com:8000@;
       s@http://www2.domain2.com@http://www.domain2.com:8001@;
       print;
   }
