Thanks, this has helped a lot, and I'm much closer now. However, now I'm
running into other limitations of my Squid knowledge. Following the
example of that link, my cache_peer statements are working correctly for
the site I'm interested in, i.e. URLs of the form
<mysite.com>/somepage.html are cached. However, URLs to any other site,
i.e <someothersite.com>/index.html are also all getting caught and are
failing, because Squid is converting them to "<mysite.com>/index.html".
In other words, I haven't yet found out how to catch only requests for a
single domain.

Here's the head of my config file:

http_port 80 accel defaultsite=<mysite.com>
cache_peer <mysite.com> parent 80 0 no-query originserver name=myAccel
proxy-only
acl proxy_sites dstdomain <mysite.com>
acl all src 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0
http_access allow proxy_sites
cache_peer_access myAccel allow proxy_sites
cache_peer_access myAccel deny all

I have tried other configuration as well, including additional
cache_peer statements, but nothing I've tried has worked. The requests
don't fail over to the other cache_peer statements.

What am I missing?
