See Squid FAQ on how to use Squid inside a firewall.

It is infact very smart reasons behind this behaviour of Squid, and
relates to many things, not just questionmarks. As you have only told
Squid you are part of a cache hierarchy, not inside a firewall, Squid
tries to go direct where forwarding requests via (a more or less complex)
cache hierarchy does not make much sense in terms of hit ratio.

Look again.. ;)
The controls placing URLs with questionmarks in this category is in fact
explicitly in the shipped squid.conf, but this is only one category of
many where the above symptom is seen. See above for the solution to your
problem, it is not related to the questionmarks as such but what the fine
detail implications of the questionmarks indicate to Squid.
