I have tried various combinations of never_direct and always_direct. In fact I never really understood why "always_direct allow" is not the same as "never_direct deny". Do you have any concrete suggestions on how to write the preference ruleset? In human language the rules should be: - always try to use the parent proxy - only if there are no parent (because they are declared as dead) try a direct request to the destination web server IMHO there are only few people who have really understood the exact way that parent selection (or "preference") is decided by squid.
