[squid-users] Unable to forward this request at this time

Hi,
I have squid-2.3.STABLE4 on Solaris/x86. Everything works fine but during peak hours (We are an ISP) it gives error

The following error was encountered:
  a.. Unable to forward this request at this time.
This request could not be forwarded to the origin server or to any parent caches. The most likely cause for this error is that:

  a.. The cache administrator does not allow this cache to make direct connections to origin servers, and
  b.. All configured parent caches are currently unreachable.
After this message user has refresh the page again and again and after many attempts he can see the page. Any body can help?
NOTE:I have disabled "ns_children" directive in my squid.conf file because it gives an error at startup message "parseConfigFile: line 620 unrecognized: 'dns_children 5' "
