OK got it in a way.
I still dont know exactly what's under the hood so I will leave it for
tomorrow for a second pass.

Well the thing is... that the urls are dynamic and the second one is to
make the object cachable on the first possible.
the first layer(intercepting) actually fetch an internal url such as:
http://youtube.squid.internal/static_naming

and the second layer is fetching the real one which is dynamic.
So the second one is not meant for cache at all and since it's a dynamic
url I can not use the second proxy cache for that purpose. (Sucks)

I have used 3.1 for quite long time and was happy with the results so
it's not really a big issue to keep using it for now.
But I will be very happy for squid to not loose a basic functionality
and specially on caching possibilities that is the soul purpose of squid.

I can use a small helper I have used before to schedule object fetching
into squid but the setup by itself now was suppose to prevent all of
this and to make sure there is one proxy instance that will do all the
caching and nothing will be done to fetch objects "manually" into the cache.
