What you need is a yum that always uses the same URL to request the same file. The default is to pick something randomly from a list of mirrors.
Is there a way to tell squid that even if coming from different mirror it is always the same file?
No, but squid has a hook for a redirector. If you did some work you might be able to force the request for the mirror lists to redirect to your own server which would return a list with only one repository. Of course you have to repeat that work for every distro/version/repository.
This used to 'just work' in Centos3 since the repos all had the same name and used round robin dns to distribute the load and maybe it does again in Centos5 - I thought I'd seen something about some work being done. But with Centos4 and the fedoras the mirrorlist would usually give you something different every time and fill up the cache with multiple copies.
