RE: [squid-users] TCP_MISS/999

Thanks for the reply.

This problem is NOT permanent. Sometimes user are able to log into yahoo
services. Secondly, this problem arise again even if I change the IP.
Initially I had downlink service provider's IP and then I assigned an
IP from my own IP pool. Still the problem is there...

Hi,
this is definately a case of yahoo blocking your squid server IP. when
you bypass proxy, all the users uses their own ip to access yahoo, as
these address are'nt being blocked, they will not face any problem.
you can either contact yahoo to tell them you are using
proxy...........or change the ip of your squid server (may work for a
short while only)
