ACL do not work that way.

Anyhow, that is all separate from yoru question below.

a) You are setting the public domain name for this proxy to be "squid"
such that any URL for embeded objects or error page UI information it
generates start with "http://squid/".

This is not a domain name and apparently your system DNS resolver does
not know what to do with it when asked.

b) Your port is on 127.0.0.1.

c) both of those settings are only for process #4.

Do processes 1 to 3 have anything for either visible_hostname or
http_port or https_port?

A Problem: The number of workers is being configured *after* having used
a "if" directive based on number of workers.

Apparently yoru machine is not configured with a hostname, or it is
configured to be "squid" which is not a domain name known to your DNS
resolvers.

Also, this is a WARNING. All Squid which support SMP do not halt on
these. If your Squid is not starting there is another reason.
