The helper example uses concurrency to reduce the number of children
needed. You enable that in squid.conf by adding "concurrency=N"
parameter to the *_children line. With N being the count of requests you
want it to handle at once.

Yes, an empty line for Squid-3.

Just the concurrency level if you want to use that. see above

Nope, that is not relevant for proper redirectors.

You could do it that way. Better way is to look at the cachemgr report
about the redirectors. Each redirector should have a decreasing amount
of usage, if you arrange the numbers for concurrency and children so
that the Nth child has almost no lookups (at least less than its
concurency N value) under your highest expected traffic load it is
working fine.
