Thanks, I tried this too, but it does not seem to work under 2.5.STABLE2
on FreeBSD. sockstat -c does not mention the cache_peer's address in any
current connections, and access.log says all requests are made directly
to origin servers: DIRECT/66.249.93.99 (see the docs on the log format
http://www.squid-cache.org/Doc/FAQ/FAQ-6.html#ss6.6)
