Um, a few points:
  * specifying "no-query" prevents the above configure proxy from
sending ICP and HTCP to its peers. The port 3130 on those cache_peer
lines can be set to 0 to do the same.

  * you configured port 8080 as the contact port for a parent proxy you
say is listening on 3128.

* you specify "nonhierarchical_direct off" and "never_direct deny all"
  meaning all requests may go direct bypassing the parent, except those
matching the regex patterns in "hierarchy_stoplist".
   To force all requests to go via one of the peers set "never_direct
allow all" and remove hierarchy_stoplist
