NP: broken configuration: "name=" without parameter value and unknown
parameter name "server1".

Yes. And it is configured in exactly the way you did above. Except note
that port 3130 is defacto-standard port for ICP proxy traffic and may be
firewalled.

Please read http://wiki.squid-cache.org/Features/CacheHierarchy

In particular notice the diagrams about parent and sibling relationship
types. I suspect you have configured the third one "cluster", but have
not told us anything about the configuration of the first two proxies.
(Maybe you have configured them as parents of each other.)

You have also omitted a detailed description of "not working".

You have also omitted detailing what Squid version you are using.
