Which makes all your systems dependent on the one server providing them.
Under conditions when an error is occurring and needs to be presented
... think carefully. VERY, VERY carefully.

One situation you need to consider most carefully is that
ERR_ACCESS_DENIED is presented by Squid on every single bad request from
relay port scan or DDoS attacks.

Squid 2.x also has the error_map feature which redirects to fixed URL
based only on status code.

I would question your actual need to centralize though. If it's merely a
matter of company branding Squid-3.1 provides the errpages.css config
where you can code up the display for Squid generated pages.
