cache_peer no-query option does not work in Squid 1.X if you don't have
any ICP enabled siblings. If you have a single-parent configuration and
don't want to use ICP then you have to use "single_parent_bypass on"

Other than this single parent configurations does work in Squid 1.X as
far as I know.
