Re: [squid-users] HOSTNAME AVAILABLE OR NO???

I think you got the logics of no_cache inverse (it is a odd directive,
operating inverse to what it's name suggest).. Try the following:

  no_cache allow REFERER

Also make sure you are using Squid-2.5.PRE9 or later.. a bug in the
external_acl_type directive when trying to refer to headers such as
%{Referer} was discovered just before PRE9.. (the bug was introduced in
cleanups just before external_acl got merged into the main Squid sources).
