I'm rather new to squid, but this is what I did:

My parent is non-squid. In squid.conf I have:

cache_peer tickle parent 8080 7 no-query no-digest no-netdb-exchange

Then I use an automatic proxy setting in netscape, pointing it to:

        http://ika/proxy.pac

proxy.pac contains:

function FindProxyForURL(url, host)
        {
            if (isInNet(host, "160.101.120.0", "255.255.255.0") ||
                isInNet(host, "160.101.121.0", "255.255.255.0") ||
                isInNet(host, "160.101.122.0", "255.255.255.0") ||
                isInNet(host, "160.101.123.0", "255.255.255.0") ||
                isInNet(host, "160.101.124.0", "255.255.255.0") ||
                isInNet(host, "160.101.170.0", "255.255.255.0"))
                return "DIRECT";

            return "PROXY ika:8080";
        }

Netscape uses this to do the actual checking if its local or not, so
squid only ever sees non-local requests. There probably is a way to do
what you wanted to directly through squid, but this works for me...

There are links to docs that explain the autoproxy config on the squid
home page.

Hope this helps,
