This line http_access deny CONNECT !SSL_ports is blocking connection to your non SSL_ports. Squid blocks by default: http://wiki.squid-cache.org/SquidFaq/SecurityPitfalls#The_Safe_Ports_and_SSL_Ports_ACL

You only want to allow SSL connects to reverse proxies. Assuming that, put this at the top of your squid.conf:

https_port 443 cert=/path/to/CertAuth/testcert.cert key=/path/to/CertAuth/testkey.pem defaultsite=mywebsite.mydomain.com vhost
cache_peer 10.112.62.20 parent 80 0 no-query originserver login=PASS name=websiteA

acl sites_server_1 dstdomain websiteA.mydomain.com
cache_peer_access websiteA allow sites_server_1
http_access allow sites_server_1

You will want to read all documentation though.
