I don't think so. To the best of my knowledge, aufs is not a default storeio method. You could try changing it, and then run "squid -k parse" to check. Recompiling Squid at some time in the future (using the latest source) would likely be advisable. Stable12 has been out for a while, and is the only "officially" supported version at this time.

cache_peer ServerA parent 3128 3130 no-query no-digest proxy-only
cache_peer ServerC parent 3128 3130 no-query no-digest proxy-only

Since I imagine Server B is prevented from accessing the internet directly there is no point to performing ICP queries (hence the no-query) on the parents.
