One problem may be that the first filter "never_direct allow all" is telling squid that all requests cannot be
served directly and must be matched. I'm pretty sure that once squid finds a match, it doesn't worry about
what comes after it. Maybe if you just switched the order of these two commands. And, use "acl local-servers
dstdomain .nuon.local" the extra "." will make squid match any host name that ends in .nuon.local
