A negative cache_peer_domain lookup overrides cache_peer_access.
cache_peer_access further restricts what the peer is being used for.

cache_peer_domain foo.bar xxx yyy zzz !ddd

is identical to the following, before any cache_peer_access rules:

acl foo_domains dstdomain xxx yyy zzz !ddd
cache_peer_access foo.bar deny !foo_domains
