If u use two proxies for proxy-authentication then,the problem will occur as
                ICP
proxy A ------------- proxy B
    |
client

Proxy A sends and ICP query to Proxy B about an object, Proxy B replies with an ICP_HIT. Proxy A
forwards the HTTP request to Proxy B, but does not pass on the authentication details, therefore the
HTTP GET from Proxy A fails.

So arrange the ACL's as
by allow the neighbor caches to request from each other without proxy authentication.

Refer the http://www.squid-cache.org/Doc/FAQ/FAQ-10.html 10.10 Proxy-authentication and neighbor
caches
