Forwarding loops usually happen (1) when you are using a parent cache, or
(2) when you are using HTTP interception (aka transparent caching).  So I
will try my question again:

Are you using HTTP interception?

If so, you probably need to configure your switch/router so that it does
not re-intercept HTTP connections coming from Squid.
