Failed to select source

Hello,

thanks for all the replies on my previous questions. Both
problems are solved now.
And, yes, I know about the RFC952 and the illegal undescore.
But the machine is only inside our firewall and no DNS servers
will ever know it's there.

But now I ran into another problem. I still have two proxies
in a hierarchy.
When I open an URL in a browser connected to the "inner" proxy
sometimes not all images on the opened page are loaded.

The logfile (of the inner proxy) show this after accessing the CNN
homepage:

> 1998/11/25 09:31:51| Failed to select source for 'http://images.cnn.com/ads/advertiser/cnn/9805/promos/horoscopes120.gif'
> 1998/11/25 09:31:51| always_direct = -1
> 1998/11/25 09:31:51| never_direct = 1
> 1998/11/25 09:31:51| timedout = 1
> 1998/11/25 09:31:51| Failed to select source for 'http://cnn.com/images/1998/05/homepage/cnn.website.gif'
> 1998/11/25 09:31:51| always_direct = -1
> 1998/11/25 09:31:51| never_direct = 1
> 1998/11/25 09:31:51| timedout = 0

Note, that the html file itself is loaded, only some of the
embedded pictures are not.
Since this is not happening always, but only in about 60% of all
requests, I'm not sure what it is about.
I tried to fiddle around with several timeout settings, but it
didn't changed this behaviour.

Again, any help welcome.
