"don't always do" ... aka sometimes do, sometimes dont DNS lookup.

"never do" DNS lookup.

No need for both requirements. Just use never_direct to forbid DNS being
used for that traffic.

You cannot do that. Squid is HTTP layer where you can, at most, request
from the OS that it assign a given IP address to the outgoing traffic.

Neither directive has the ability you are requesting.

* cache_peer determines the dst-IP for the outgoing TCP connections. If
the specific server is not available the TCP connection  will fail
(because you have never_direct).


* tcp_outgoing_ip requests a specific src-IP for the outgoing TCP
connections. If that IP is not already assigned to the machine it is
invalid and connection will be rejected.


The OS routing setup decides;
 a) whether the src-IP is valid, and
 b) whether the dst-IP is routable, and
 c) which NIC the packets with those values goes out.
