Mixing both always_direct and never_direct may cause problems. I don't
claim to really understand the difference. I have read the comments in
the squid.conf dozens of times but still don't get the idea what happens
exactly when you mix them. Perhaps I need to read the source code
itself.

The last two lines may confuse squid. Leave the last line off and tell
it to...
| always_direct allow free_www
| always_direct deny all

This way the free_www destinations are always reached directly
(following your local routing table) and all other requests are sent via
your parent proxy.
