level "ALL,0" displays only critical issues.

level ALL,1 displays the above plus other important issues that should
be attended to, but are not serious enough to panic about.

Everything else is informational. Squid has a long history of people
randomly selecting what level to display things at, so there is not much
coherency.

The first means the message was not forced to go DIRECT to a DNS listed
server.

The second means the message was not forced to go to a cache_peer.
