Then the easiest solution is to set up three aliases on the proxies 
ethernet card e.g.

ifconfig eth0  192.168.1.252 netmask 255.255.255.0
ifconfig eth0:0 192.168.2.252 netmask 255.255.255.0
ifconfig eth0:1 192.168.3.252 netmask 255.255.255.0

Remember you'll need to overhaul your squid acls to allow all the 
clients access. What is it that you're trying to acheive by splitting up 
the client base?
