I tried to do it but all my requests squid gets directly. I think that this
is problem with always_direct and never_direct parameters.

There is one squid-proxy server which allows me to use it, also I've got
direct connect to Internet. I would like to use parent and when it isn't
accessable to use direct connect. Also I would like to make balancing
between direct connect and parent proxy. What should I set for always_direct
and/or never_direct to get what I need?

Please answer me on my e-mail.
