You will also need

never_direct allow private_nets

to force Squid to use a parent (i.e. PROXY2) for private_nets.

If not your second Squid will attempt to go direct it it deems that the
request is of a type where the response cannot be cached as there is no
point in using a prarent cache for such requests unless one have to...
