replace the above two lines with:
never_direct allow all
you may also add a no_query to the cache_peer tag,
also be sure authentication is not required to access
your old squid,you can check cache.log for this perpose.

you can use icp (its better) but by setting no_query and icp port to '0'
its possible not to use icp.
