 The browser appears to have a bug. You demonstrated only one URL.
 "http://frame.cool.com/ad-frame/"

 The '#' character is reserved for browser internal use. On a page view
 like this the browsers move the top of the visible display area down to
 the part of the page labeled
 "&ad_wrap=ad-1&ad_url=http://ad.doubleclick.net/adj/site011.opus/home;Slot=Leaderboard;Pos=Top;Page=home;LoggedIn=No;tile=1;sz=728x90;&ad_timestamp=13249166700149".
 That label is not itself a URL.

 So... there is no second URL to Squid, unless there is a completely
 separate lookup triggered by something else you did not mention.
