This is *not* a forward-proxy / reverse-proxy combo. This is an
interception-proxy/reverse-proxy. Your OS firewall and NAT rules will
determine which mode the arriving packets get marked as.

You appear to be lacking any rules which limit the traffic sent to the
parent peer.

You need this above the top of your existing http_access config:

   acl localWebsite dstdomain mysite.com
   http_access allow localWebsite
   cache_peer_access 127.0.0.1 allow localWebsite
