Either fix that problem (which is not Squid related), or find
another, HTTP proxy which is on a machine that does use the right
routes.

If atlas is an HTTP proxy, you can use the never_direct
(always_direct for local overrides) options and make atlas the only
parent "cache" (it only needs to proxy, not to actually cache).
Otherwise your problem is not with squid and you need to get help
from the network support people.

Looks like atlas is an HTTP proxy, so you are probably OK.
