You might be intersted by Saperlipopette!
(http://www-sor.inria.fr/projects/relais/saperli/). It takes proxy logs as
input and tries to find the optimal configuration for a set cooperating
proxy caches. You can plug your policies (replacement, cooperation,
consistency, etc.) by implementing the right C++ classes.
