That will be good enough for some testing. Hopefully squids can be configured to understand that http://fr.paris.wikipedia.org/ is indeed http://fr.wikipedia.org/
French squids can be configured to use Florida squids as round-robin parents.
They should be configured that way already, missing two of the current squids though. The purge is just more ips in the array. If it's not yet done i can help with the setup this weekend.
I'm not sure this is the most scalable way to do it. I spoke with Domas about this on IRC briefly and the best solution seems to be some kind of purge daemon which can handle purging without putting more strain on the apaches; or failing that, some kind of recursive purge which would allow the fl squids to purge the French squids themselves.
Doing it via MediaWiki is likely to cause slow edits & other problems if there are network issues between the two sites...
