Perhaps it's the cache_peer_domain lines that you need, I have sanitized
these entries, I am actually using a vhost configuration with multiple
peers on port 80, and a single peer on https.

cache_peer 1.1.1.1 parent 80 0 proxy-only no-query originserver
name=HTTPPEER
cache_peer_domain HTTPPEER www.domain.com
cache_peer 1.1.1.1 parent 443 0 ssl no-query originserver
name=HTTPSPEER
cache_peer_domain HTTPSPEER www.domain.com

My forward proxy is also using a parent cache, which makes the ACLs and
rules likely quite a bit different, but I don't appear to have any allow
deny rules for the parent peers used in the reverse proxy settings, so
it looks like the cache_peer_domain is doing all the work in deciding
what goes to the parents via the reverse proxy function, and what goes
to the forward parent server. The only ACLs and rules I have setup are
allowing and denying access to the forward proxy port.
