Which is upstream of which? Is the netscape server the parent to the Squid
server, or vice versa?

If the netscape server is the parent, as I'm assuming, then if you don't use
never_direct in squid, then it is always free to query the origin server
directly if it thinks that will be faster.

If it must always go through the Netscape proxy server, then you must use
never_direct. Read the comments in the squid.conf file carefully.
