[squid-users] Users forced to reinitiate MSN Messenger after about 5 minutes

Hi all.

The users that have been granted access to MSN Messenger through Squid,
are losing their session, sometimes while iddle, sometimes while using
messenger.
The same users don't have problems if going out through the firewall
port 1863.

The squid configuration file has:

acl user1 src 192.168.1.1
acl user2 src 192.168.1.2
acl user3 src 192.168.1.3
acl restrinmess dstdomain -i/etc/squid/messenger
http_access deny !Safe_ports
http_access deny CONNECT !SSL_ports
http_access deny restrinmess !user1 !user2 !user3
http_access allow user1
http_access allow user2
http_access allow user3
http_access deny all
....
...

The /etc/squid/messenger file's contents are:
gateway.messenger.hotmail.com
207.46.110.10

It would seem to be a timeout problem, yet that doesn't seem to explain
why users lose the messenger session while in the middle o
typing/receiving a message.

Any help will be appreciated,
Regards,
Rafael
