How I would do it:

 * Single server connected to all three

 * Policy routing configured such that packets with the source IP
corresponding to each ISP is routed to their gateway.

 * Some scripts to monitor each link, and add/remove them as default
gateways depending on their status..

 * Multi-path routing enabled in the kernel, allowing for multiple
default routes and load sharing among them.


See http://lartc.org/howto/lartc.rpdb.multiple-links.html for details.


With this in place Squid will run happily, completely ignorant to how
many links you have and instead letting the OS sort it out.
