I also had to set up an accelerator a short while ago and found it very
hard to deal with that very narrow piece of documentation.
In fact, I have a Zope server running on port 9966, and since our users
are used to that port, I set up a squid, listening on hostname:9966 and
bound Zope to localhost:9966.
I tried several combinations of vhost, vport, vport= and
corresponding cache_peer-lines, but squid insisted to catch things from
localhost:80, although that port was never mentioned in the setup.
Finally I gave up trying alternatives and switched the whole thing to
port 80, which worked...

>From that arose two questions:
1) How is it possible, to accelerate "something" that is not running on
port 80?
2) What is a "Host directive" (cf. vhost) - this term is never mentioned
again in the squid.conf.default?

Best regards
Torsten
