The statements above will tell your proxy to always go direct to the server
as opposed to requesting the objects via the cache hierarchy, which you may
or may not have configured. In your case this is probably what you want.

To not cache the sites you will need to add (additionally)

no_cache deny local-server

to your squid.conf and then squid -k reconfigure
