I too have been wondering about this.

I've noticed that even though I have local domain cnl.com.au , squid still
get's the requested file and caches it. Squid doesn't actually tell the
browser to go get the file directly, which is what is really needed to
save processor and disk usage.

I can see circumstances where you'd want it to work the way it does, like
have a remote cache on your own network, so an extra directive is what's
needed.
