[squid-users] Access to local news server

Hi,

I have 2 squid machines running as cache-peers, with one (the 'iproxy')
forwarding requests to the other (the 'oproxy'). I'm trying to setup a
news server on the oproxy that can be accessed by users inside the LAN
using desproxy (http://desproxy.sourceforge.net/) to tunnel it through
the iproxy. However when I run desproxy and try to connect to the news
server I get this:

Connection request from 192.168.1.186, port 41450

It seems that the squid on oproxy is denying access to the news server
that runs on that machine. Here's my squid.conf from oproxy:
