[squid-users] no_cache directive

I am running squid2.5.Stable3 and am using it with SquidGuard. Currently I
am using statements such as these below:

acl COAERS url_regex ^http://www.coaers.org.*
no_cache deny COAERS

to keep from caching the site above, however if I look in the access.log I
see the following type traffic:

1078922998.183 226 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx TCP_MISS/200 9256 GET
http://www.coaers.org/ - DIRECT/204.200.192.205 text/html
1078922998.319 210 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx TCP_MISS/200 8037 GET
http://www.coaers.org/images/coaers%20logo.gif - DIRECT/204.200.192.205

1078922998.609 131 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx TCP_MISS/200 1742 GET

http://www.coaers.org/menu/Retirement%20Ofc.%20RGB.jpg -
DIRECT/204.200.192.205 image/jpeg

Does the DIRECT statement indicate that the traffic to the site is indeed
being pulled directly from the site and is not cached?

Essentially the problem is that users inside my network say that the web
page should show a different "Updated on" date than the one they are seeing
because outside of our network they see the proper date. I have shutdown
and flushed all my cache files (about 40gb worth on each server), cleared my
local borwser cache, and restarted the caching servers....all to no avail.
The data still seems to be getting cached somewhere by someone. Any ideas
that are obvious which I don't seem to be catching?
