This error in this configuration most likely indicates Squid can not look
up the IP address of the cache_peer. Have seen such errors a couple of
times but never bothered to file a bug report on it. If it bothers you,
you are welcome to file a bug report and maybe I remember to fix the error
message to indicate the correct host name..

Try using IP address instead of hostname in your cache_peer line
(127.0.0.1 for localhost).
