You can always limit access with http_access, only allowing access to
your domains.

But since you say you use Squid-2.6 my guess is that you have set
http_port wrongly. In a reverse proxy you SHOULD use something like

http_port 80 defaultsite=your.main.website vhost

and cache_peer + cache_peer_access/domain for forwarding the requests to
the correct servers.

Don't use always_direct, and don't use the transparent http_port option
(it's for Internet proxies operating by transparent interception, not
for reverse proxies).
