Squid cannot tell your browsers not to use Squid for the request. Such
configuration needs to be done in the browser.

What you can do is to try to investigate why it gets slow when using
Squid. A good start is to start by using a browser running on the
Squid server itself and try to browse the intranet server without
using Squid as a proxy.

If this works find then the problem can most likely be solved by Squid
configuration. Try the always_direct,
client_side_persistent_connections and
server_side_persistent_connections directives.

If this browsing directly from the Squid server is slow too then the
problem is networking related, not Squid related. Maybe DNS related.
