I haven't checked recently, but it certainly used to be possible to do that.

You're not allowed to use any ACLs (for access or otherwise) that
would require a DNS lookup. That includes these types: dst, src_domain, and
dst_domain.

To forward all requests to a parent, use something like

        cache_peer foo parent 1234 2345 default
        acl all src 0/0
        never_direct allow all

The -D command line option is unlreated.
