Hmm.. are you trying to exclude your own servers from beeing cached when
accessed by your clients, or trying to allow your servers to bypass the
cache when going to the Internet?

If the first then

acl server_network dst 172.16.0.0/24

In both cases, excluding the server network from the redirection is the
best approach unless you also want to have the requests logged by Squid.
