Squid try service any request they can as quickly as possible, rather that relaying the requests through another hop which *will* add more lag. This DIRECT behaviour is sort of like a HIT for CONNECT requests - the same goes for ftp:// and gopher:// traffic. You can make Squid ignore these special types of requests and (possibly) pass them to peers using this directive:   http://www.squid-cache.org/Doc/config/nonhierarchical_direct/ Amos
