This causes Squid to go direct for any request for the server
www.satlink.com.au, as you intended. However, it sounds like you have
other web servers that you want included in your definition of "local
servers"; you can cover your whole Class C address:

acl local-servers dst xxx.yyy.zzz.aaa/255.255.255.0

Check the default squid.conf for plenty of examples.
