Re: Squid to two Proxy's ...

Alright:

# Allowing or denying direct connection to sites based on access lists.
# This comes in two flavours. always_direct and never_direct
#
# allow_direct allow|deny [!]aclname
#
# If aclname matches and the rule is 'allow', then squid is permitted to
make direct
# connection to the target. If no allow_direct lines are present, then
the default is
# to use the neighbour-selection algorithm, as defined elsewhere in this
configuration.
# Rules are matched top-to-bottom (ie: Earlier rules take precedence over
later ones)
# If there is at least one allow_direct line, an implicit rule is created
at the end that is
# the opposite of the last explicitly stated line (deny if you said
allow, allow if you said
# deny [someone check me on this - Dancer]). If allow_direct rules exist
and there is
# no allow line matching the current request, the request must go through
a neighbour
# or a parent _regardless_ of other selection criteria.
# The default is to use the neighbour selection criteria defined
elsewhere in this config
#
#always_direct allow all
#
# never_direct allow|deny [!]aclname
#
# Never direct works identically to allow direct but the sense of allow
and deny are reversed.
# ('never_direct allow all' means 'always use parents or neighbours for
every request,
# and if it is not possible to do so, generate an error).
#
# The default is to use the neighbour selection criteria defined
elsewhere in this config.
#never_direct deny all

I've had a few too many drinks this-eve with the boss. This explanation
is the best I can do before a meal and coffee. Hope it helps.

Did you read the documentation AND the FAQ?
If not, I'll probably still answer your question, but my patience will
be limited, and you take the risk of sarcasm and ridicule.
