We had this problem, and I put it down to the fact that our firewall
(Netscape Proxy) is on a saturated link and is slow to respond.

By configuring Squid to look at a different proxy server on our Intranet
(also Netscape Proxy) the problem was cured.

I suspect the root cause is however Squid - not waiting long enough for a
reply from the firewall proxy before deciding that the firewall proxy is
dead!!!
