[squid-users] cache_peer & cache_peer_domain not working

Hello there,
I am having problem in squid to force a website/domain requested by our
users to go through only one firewall rather than multiple. I used both
cache_peer and cache_peer_domain on the squid server but the
transactions for that website still go through all 3 firewalls.

We have 3 firewalls for redundancy and load-sharing, due to strict
security requirements of this particular website www.xxx.com.au, all
accesses must come from one of the firewalls only i.e. one IP, or else
users will be disconnected when the website sees different IP sources.

In squid.conf I have these:

cache_peer 192.168.127.50 parent 80 7 no-query round-robin
cache_peer 192.168.127.100 parent 80 7 no-query round-robin
cache_peer 192.168.127.150 parent 80 7 no-query round-robin

cache_peer_domain 192.168.127.100 .xxx.com.au # I chose
to go through the 2nd firewall

Can anyone please shed light on where have I gone wrong?

Much thanks in advance.
