The fix Duane is referring to breaks any forwarding loops that are
detected. It doesn't stop them occurring.

One way of stopping them is to configure your cache so that any
requests that originate from siblings, do not cause requests to
go out to any other siblings (and the other sibling maintainers
should do the same). Here's an example:

  # siblings you know about
  acl from_peers srcdomain "/usr/local/squid/etc/trusted_caches"

  # caches you use as *siblings* only - parents not necessary
  cache_peer_access proxy1.me.com deny from_peers
  cache_peer_access proxy2.me.com deny from_peers

Cheers,
Niall
