As I wrote to Henrik, I should use never_direct to be sure that the
front end squid asks to the back end squid right?!

Suppose the backend squid has its own cache_peer parent and suppose I
want that, whenever the frontend squid asks the backend squid for a
multimedia files, if the backend squid doesn't have it, it asks to its
own parent, when it gets the file back it sends this back back to the
frontend squid....do you think this could be possible with such a
configuration?!?!
