I haven't configured squid myself, and my squid admin (aka husband)
happens to be off at a spec meeting for a couple of days.

But:

1. I assume you understand proxy peering (that your proxy goes
to the peers, if they have the relevent page, rather than the 
page source) and intend to use it?

2. You don't /really/ have 'myhost.mydomain.com' in your actual
config file, do you? You've replaced that with the address of 
your intended parent and sibling proxies, haven't you?

3. If you don't want peer proxies, comment the lines out.
