I see only TCP_MISS

Hello everyone!

I recently upgraded to squid 3.2.0.2 and started successfully 
configuring multiple squid instances on a dual core linux box with two 
frontend squid handling authentication and load balancing and also two 
backend instances handling caching.

                        Frontend-1---------Backend-1
                       /                    \    /
                      /                       \/
Client ------>                          / \
                      \                      /   \
                       \                    /     \
                        Frontend-2---------Backend-2

Both frontend instances are configured as following:
cache_peer localhost parent 4001 0 carp login=PASS name=backend-1
cache_peer localhost parent 4002 0 carp login=PASS name=backend-2

Load balancing between frontends (iptables) and backends (CARP) is 
working fine, but I see only TCP_MISS/200, TCP_MISS\302 and 
CD_PARENT_HIT/backend-1-2 on frontends and backends access.log.

Is this normal when squid is configured this way or there is some 
misconfiguration on squids config file?

Thanks in advance!
