[squid-users] page stalling w/ squid

I have this weird problem where if I go though squid, a page would
stall until it hits the read timeout limit. This only happens on
certain webservers.

eg:
read_timeout set to 120 seconds.

1. request page on browser
2. page load stalls
3. after 120 seconds, squid sends a fin, ack to http server
4. http server returns a HTTP 200 after receiving the fin,ack packet
5. browser gets the requested page.

Sometimes, squid would load the page fine.

Here's my squid build:
Squid Cache: Version 2.7.STABLE9
configure options: '--enable-linux-netfilter'
'--enable-follow-x-forwarded-for' '--enable-linux-tproxy'
'--enable-epoll' '--enable-async-io' '--with-pthreads'
'--enable-storeio=ufs,aufs,coss,diskd,null'
'--enable-removal-policies=lru,heap' '--enable-snmp'
'--with-maxfd=65536' 'CFLAGS=-march=pentium3 -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer
-pipe' 'CPPFLAGS=-march=pentium3 -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe'

You can download tcpdump and squid config from
http://mina.lolipower.org/mike/squid-stall.zip

If I access the page directly on the browser, the page stalling doesn't happen.

any ideas on addressing this issue?

thx
mike
