You probably want to use the "myport" ACLs instead of the "port" ACLs
because you route based on the Squid listening port, not the origin
server listening port.

I hope you do not need those "deny" rules for cache_peer_access
directives because the default -- reverse the last action [for the same
peer] -- should work fine. If you want or need to have explicit deny
rules, use "deny all" to clarify the intent and avoid the "what if none
of the cache_peer_access rules match for a peer?" concerns.


HTH,
