Repeated TCP connection failed?

Hi

I have just installed a new Squid to peer with an existing Squid and am
seeing a lot of the following

2000/07/10 12:30:29| TCP connection to proxy2.my.squid/8080 failed
2000/07/10 12:30:32| TCP connection to proxy2.my.squid/8080 failed
2000/07/10 12:30:32| TCP connection to proxy2.my.squid/8080 failed
2000/07/10 12:30:35| TCP connection to proxy2.my.squid/8080 failed
2000/07/10 12:30:59| TCP connection to proxy2.my.squid/8080 succeeded

Up to 10 will fail and then one will succeed. happens all day regardless of
load.

2000/07/10 12:29:15| Starting Squid Cache version 2.3.STABLE3 for
i686-pc-linux-gnu...
2000/07/10 12:29:15| Process ID 28035
2000/07/10 12:29:15| With 1024 file descriptors available

2000/07/10 12:29:15| Successful DNS name lookup tests...
2000/07/10 12:29:15| DNS Socket created on FD 5

I have never seen these errors before, Is it a squid issue or more likely a
network congestion problem? The network seems OK otherwise and the origional
squid does not report any errors in it's log.

Any suggestions appreciated.

Thanks

Kevin
