We now provide an the Authoritative Configuration Manual for each version
of squid. These manuals are built daily and directly from the squid source
code to provide the most up to date information on squid options. Recent
releases of squid now come packaged with a copy of their Manual built
during the release process.

For Squid-2.6 the Manual is at
http://www.squid-cache.org/Versions/v2/2.6/cfgman/

For Squid-3.0 the Manual is at
http://www.squid-cache.org/Versions/v3/3.0/cfgman/

(PS. I've just updated the wiki ConfigExamples to say this now too)
