access lines ANDs acl lines together. You probably want to write either

acl loc dstdomain xxxxxx yyyyyy
always_direct allow loc

or

acl loc dstdomain xxxxxx
acl loc dstdomain yyyyyy
always_direct allow loc
always_direct allow loc1

always_direct is forcing Squid to go direct to the origin server.

never_direct is forcing Squid to always go throught a parent (or sibling
hit).

If neither of always_direct or never_direct is allowed then the normal
cache_peer selection algorithms is used.

The intended use of always_direct is if you have local servers to which
Squid always should go direct.

The intended use of never_direct is if you are inside a firewall where
all requests has to go throught the firewall.
