RE: [squid-users] prefer_direct off and Network is unreachable

also:

acl local-servers dst 10.0.0.0/8 ( <--- example, your local address range)
acl server-to-go-to-directly 1.2.3.4/255.255.255.255
never_direct deny local-servers
never_direct deny server-to-go-to-directly
never_direct allow all

the config above also helps to reduce the caching of local content on your network
