But Squid-3 '-k parse' will absolutely complain when obsolete Squid-2 directives are passed to them. Your config file contains at least 3 such obsolete directives (no_cache). It also uses QUERY ACL before defining what QUERY is. > > I was looking for a schematic explanation on how to configure my > network to effectively distribute traffic.

The URL I referenced already covers all the ways Squid can load balance. *Which* one is "effective" depends on what you want to happen. Your config file shows someone halfway through testing whether a particular client->squid->proxy->Internet pathway works. Which is fine, actually a good way to go about the change. One step at a time. For info on the pieces needed for creating cache hierarchies see the top two sections of <http://wiki.squid-cache.org/Features/CacheHierarchy>.
