No because cache_peer_access is not granting service permission to the
client. It is simply selecting whether or not the peer is going to be
*attempted* contact.
Only http_access, adapted_http_access, and http_reply_access are able to
replace the response object using deny_info.

For example; if you have two peers not allowed to be contacted. Which
error page would you display? what if one were allowed and one not
working? and why would you display any error page if there were a third
option which *could* be used?
