tcp_outgoing_address specifies the address that squid makes its connections
_from_, not where they are made _to_.
You want to setup a parent cache with the address of your other proxy (ie
127.0.0.1:3129), and then use the never_direct config option to ensure that
all requests goto your parent.

Hope this helps,
