If your peers are using a recent Squid release, you can safely deny
miss_access for all. Your peer will retry the request (e.g. by going
DIRECT) if your proxy denies access for the previously "advertised" object.

Note that there is no way one can achieve absence of false hits (regardless
of the cooperation protocol in use). A cache may simply purge an object
that was advertised a millisecond ago.
