Looks fine. Except for the small detail where deny_info may be used in
2.5.STABLE4 and earlier:
http://www.squid-cache.org/Versions/v2/2.5/bugs/#squid-2.5.STABLE4-deny_info_reply

You can always negate acls with ! if this makes your life easier.
deny_info looks for the last ACL on the access line where the request was
denied. Any ! should not be specified to deny_info.

Depends on what the access line which denies access looks like.
