[squid-users] How to use tcp_outgoing_address with cache_peer

Hello all, I encountered the problem with configuration 2 squids. I
have the following scheme -
http://i.piccy.info/i7/0ecd5cb8276b78975a791c0e5f55ae60/4-57-1543/57409208/squids_schema.jpg

The main idea is to download all files from rackspace and amazon
through parent squid and store all files in his cache.

On the main_squid server was configured PBR (iptables + ip route). All
packets go through the same channels through which the requests were
received

# ip ru sh
0: from all lookup local
1000: from all fwmark 0x3e8 lookup ISP1
2000: from all fwmark 0x7d0 lookup ISP2
3011: from all fwmark 0xbc3 lookup ISP3
32762: from xxx.xxx.xxx.62 lookup ISP1
32763: from yyy.yyy.yyy.239 lookup ISP2
32764: from zzz.zzz.zzz.10 lookup ISP3
32766: from all lookup main
32767: from all lookup default

*** main_squid squid.conf ***
http_port 192.168.210.1:3128 transparent

cache_peer 192.168.220.2 sibling 3128 3130
dead_peer_timeout 5 seconds

acl AMAZON dstdom_regex -i (.*)s3\.amazonaws\.com

acl RACKSPACE dstdom_regex -i (.*)rackcdn\.com

cache_dir null /tmp

acl local_net src 192.168.0.0/16
http_access allow local_net

*** parent_squid squid.conf ***

minimum_object_size 16384 KB
maximum_object_size 1024 MB
cache_swap_low 93
cache_swap_high 98

acl PSD urlpath_regex -i \.psd$
cache allow PSD

acl ZIP urlpath_regex -i \.zip$
cache allow ZIP

acl OTHER url_regex -i ^http://*
cache deny OTHER

refresh_pattern \.psd$ 2592000 100 2592000 override-lastmod
override-expire ignore-reload ignore-no-cache
refresh_pattern \.zip$ 2592000 100 2592000 override-lastmod
override-expire ignore-reload ignore-no-cache

All work fine, until I uncomment on main_squid the following line

tcp_outgoing_address yyy.yyy.yyy.239

When I try to download any zip file from amazon I see the following
message in cache.log

2013/04/22 01:00:41| TCP connection to 192.168.220.2/3128 failed

If I run tcpdump on yyy.yyy.yyy.239 I see that main_squid trying to
connect to parent via external interface without success.

So my question. How may I configure main_squid that it could connect
to the parent even with configured
tcp_outgoing_address option?

P.S.
