Single. squidGuard is called by squid as a service. It is also very
lightweight and while you may be able to hack up some way to run them on
separate boxes any gains you made by having separate hardware for each
process would probably be lost going over the wire to obtain the service
if you had a very busy network.

You're kind of asking these questions in a vacuum. How do you have it
set up now? Which distro? Which version of squid? What kind of network
setup? Config files... etc. etc.

Microsoft model for lawn care: Provide free mowing until the other
lawn services go under, then create a license agreement that says
Microsoft owns the dirt and grass but it's up to you to get rid
of the weeds. And don't try to plant apple trees -- the soil is
incompatible...
