That doesn't do what you are trying to do (obviously). It only has bearing when using cache peers. There is no directive in Squid to tell client's not to use it. Once Squid has been passed the request, it has to run with it. What you need to do is use a proxy.pac (or something equivalent) to specify to the clients which requests should be sent to the proxy, and which should go direct.

squid -k reconfigure
