I tried

cache_host proxy01.iafrica.com parent 3128 3130 weight=1

cache_host proxy.aztec.co.za parent 8080 0 no-query default weight=2

but this only resulted in continuous

TIMEOUT_DEFAULT_PARENT

messages in the access.log

I tried
telnet proxy.aztec.co.za 8080
GET http://www.ibm.com

and this worked

The admin @aztec said that he had disabled all echoes - whatever he
meant

In the mean time I am using a squid proxy at another ISP
