You can avoid this problem simply using the miss_access directive in
squid.conf.
 
If your sibling specify "miss_access deny your_cache" you obtain only
the real hits from it and the time response penalty should not be too
large.

Of course, all of this is assuming that you have some ways to
coordinate with
the managers of your siblings.
