As far as I understand, siblings, by definition, do not serve misses.
Thus, adding only-if-cached is essential in detecting false hits.
Without only-if-cached, Squid will not be able to detect a false hit
(in an HTTP-friendly way) and re-fetch the request.
If you have a peer cache that is willing to fetch your misses, call
that cache a parent, not sibling (again, by definition).
