[squid-users] Squid mishandling certain kinds of media types

I have a single squid box running FreeBSD that is behaving very strangely.
With certain types of media files, most notably mp3, ra and wmv files, squid
lists them as mime type text/html. Another oddity is that when requesting
these types of files, the IP of the squid box shows up as the source of the
file, rather than the original server. Its almost as if squid thinks it has
the item in the cache, regardless of the fact that the object is a cache
miss. Has anyone seen this behavior before? An example from the box's
access.log is below. The IP of the squid box is 10.0.1.3

Thanks in advance for any help.
