[squid-users] parent proxy not working correctly?

I have just setup some parent proxy for my squid proxyserver but
somehow it doesn't work really well.

Here is what I added.

acl LAN_sites dstdomain netserver.wofs.local
acl localnetwork url_regex -i 192.168
always_direct allow LAN_sites
always_direct allow localnetwork

cache_peer 111.22.33.44 parent 554 554 round-robin
cache_peer 111.22.33.45 parent 554 554 round-robin
cache_peer 111.22.33.46 parent 8080 8080 round-robin
cache_peer 111.22.33.49 parent 553 553 round-robin

When I apply the settings, it works for a while. If I go to
whatismyip.com, I will get those parent proxy ip addresses. But after
a while, like 1 minutes, whatismyip.com will give me my real IP
address. I will have to re-start squid and whatismyip.com will again
give me parent proxy's IP for a few refresh before falling back to my
real IP address.

Is that how it works or I am doing something wrong?

Please advice. Thanks in advance.
