You can make that /16 for easier reading.

In order rough of relevance and easy checking...

 - It may be a SIBLING_HIT or ICP_HIT in the log.

 - That the squid are actually listening for traffic on http_port 8888.

 - Check that there is no firewall between them on port 3130.

 - check that forwarded_for and Via headers are turned ON (the defaults).

 - Maybe the timeout is too short. Try it at default (unset) first before
tweaking.
