Quick follow up.  When using debug 28,3 does this record
cache_peer_access and deny_info acls in the cache log?  Since I'm using
the same ACL declaration  for both the cache_peer_access and http_access
statements,  in a lot of cases, I just want to make sure I'm
interpreting  the ACL debug information correctly.  

For example:
acl www dstdomain www.example.com
cache_peer 10.10.10.1 parent 80 0 no-query no-digest originserver
round-robin
cache_peer_access 10.10.10.1 allow www
cache_peer_access 10.10.10.1 deny all

cache_peer 10.10.10.2 parent 80 0 no-query no-digest originserver
round-robin
cache_peer_access 10.10.10.2 allow www
cache_peer_access 10.10.10.2 deny all
. . . 
http_access allow www

As always, thanks for the help.
