Looks that way. The particular example was a revalidation request
though. If they are both logging to the one file first line is squid2,
second line squid1?

It will resolve cases such as ones where a cache HIT prevents the
request going through DG controls of whether the client is allowed that
object.

Some requests are best served that way rather than going through a
hierarchy. Such as CONNECT requests which are explicit requests to do that.
  nonhierarchichal_direct and hierarchy_stoplist control whether these
types of requests are required to go through the peer (DG) or allowed to
go direct.

The effect is a reduction of speed on those requests.

http_reply_access is *way* too late to be doing anything like
destination selection. The request has already left squid via some path
and the reply is coming back.

always_direct forces things to go direct. It does not prevent.

never_direct along with the hierarchical controls mentioned above is
what you want to use.

Remember "no_cache" == "cache"

For no caching you want:
  cache deny all

any URL with "?" or "cgi-bin" in it will go DIRECT from this Squid.

Remove "hierarchy_stoplist".

Add these:
  nonhierarchical_direct off

to force everything going to DG to ONLY go that way also add these:

  never_direct allow DmzPublicWifiSubnet
  never_direct allow RestrictedAccessLog
