Yes.. but let's say this URL (referring to an internal static icon that will
appear in an error page rather than an FTP-generated page) comes from proxyA.

proxyB (a peer of proxyA) and proxyC (a child of proxyA) will see the
"squid-internal-static" and want to return icons from its own set (as Jens-S
indicated above).

What happens when one of these "squid-internal-static" icon URLs (ie., the
error page ones not the FTP page ones) from proxyA hits either proxyB or
proxyC - will proxyB and proxyC still try to rewrite the URL to point to
themselves (resulting in a broken image, file not found) or will they leave
the URL alone, resulting (ultimately) in a request to the original proxy
(proxyA) to get the icons?

I have the Queensland "Sunshine" (bwah!) Coast to blame for mine. ;-)
