good day to you

i have the following scenario:
i have squid running on my internal gateway - my gateway is connected via wireless to another server connected to the internet also running squid (this box is on a fast line)
what i want to do:
i want to use my proxy on my gateway regardless - but i want this squid to pass some requests on to the squid on the fater line - so that this machine can do the fetching, and then push the files over the wireless to my local squid thereby increasing the speed of my lan so to speak -

can this be done?

what i have so far:
on my internal squid on my gateway

Code:

#squid caches!!
cache_peer 192.168.1.1 parent 3128 3130 login=some_user:some_pass no-delay proxy-only

#cache peer access!!!
cache_peer_access 192.168.1.1 allow lightspeed
cache_peer_access 192.168.1.1 deny all


and on both boxes i have
Code:
icp_port 3130


lightspeed is my acl for my delay pool - so i only want to use this for lightspeed - whenever im surfing just to test ;)
guys - this is new terretory for me - so i appreciate your advice. can this be done, like to get a squid on a fast line to fetch requests and pass it on to another squid on a slower line?

thank you and thanks for squid - what a great piece of software!
