I really want to solve this problem, and I think I have the ability, but just now i only have no time. The other difficulty for me is that I don't have a thorough understand of the Squid cache.
I think, to solve this problem, we must design a solution are conformable with the url, database and Squid cache requirement. Chinese Wikipedia community had discussed these problems for a long time, The real problem so far is that no programmer take the real step.
I plan th solve it in the next year when I finnished my graduate thesis, if no one take the real step. It is very welcome that someone is interesting about the problem and work hard to solve it.
Please, please publish what you have done. It is not only the Chinese Wikipedia community that is interested in solving this problem. Other developers on the MediaWiki development team have the necessary expertise in database and squid issues, but don't have the linguistic knowledge.
We all understand that in a volunteer project, motivation comes and goes. If you lose motivation, it's important that you publish what you have done so that others may continue it.
I can give you CVS access if that would help.
