Hello,

Perhaps this is one of those obvious newbie things that everyone gets when
they start with Squid, but it seems that however I build my Squid server, I
consistently get a number of (the same) sites which are unaccessible
(response 110 timed out connection), but come up ok when I go direct... most
sites are not a problem. Occasionally, one or two of these might come up
after a long wait...

Here are some examples of inaccessible urls:
http://uk.greetings.yahoo.com
http://www.baa.co.uk
http://www.canon.co.uk
http://www.gnupg.org
http://www.marasystems.com

yet for each of these there are many sites which have no problem at all...
sometimes (apparently) even part of the same site for which I have problems
in other parts of the site... e.g. www.bbc.co.uk/weather is fine, but
www.bbc.co.uk/news or www.bbc.co.uk/sport will always time out (I think they
both redirect to news.bbc.co.uk)

Linux 7.2, Latest STABLE6 tarball, behind a transparent (Guardian) firewall
with all outbound ports open for the squid server

Is there something about the way these sites behave that I'm not handling
properly... is there some specific information which would help further?

Thankyou

Phil DG
