I've never used squid, but I suspect that squid has been configured to 
cache data by IP address, not by full address, so when two name-based
virtual domains resolve to the same IP, squid doesn't bother to 
verify that the data is actually rhe same.

See if you can find a config switch to get squid to keep track of the
full hostname of the cached data.
