Yes that "<anything>" field you asked about is the concurrency
channel-ID field. You can set concurrency as high as you want. The
lookup queue length for these helpers is 2*concurrency*children instead
of 2*children for older helpers.

 "--tagcol" is optional. Its probably not that useful just to dump the
IP address back out at Squid, so you should be able to just omit it.
