This should NOT be an allow all. Since you only have one child proxy,
you should only allow follow_x_forwarded_for for that specific IP.

acl childProxy src 192.168.18.92
follow_x_forwarded_for allow childProxy

At this time there was just one active request, that being the Squid
client (on localhost) requesting information about active requests... I
have no idea if the cache_manager menu honors the X-Forwarded-For
header, but I would imagine not. The active_requests list includes port
numbers, and so probably uses the raw TCP connection data.
