Not on always_direct. It is a fullblown ACL check.

cache_peer_access and no_cache is another issue however. Both are
utterly unreliable if you rely on DNS data.

If you need DNS data in no_cache then I have a patch which makes it
perform a full blown ACL check capable of waiting for DNS data or
whatever may be required.
