According to
http://linux.oreillynet.com/pub/a/linux/2001/08/02/offline_squid.html
article, the offline code of Squid is not operational.
So i think that latest build SquidNT can't resolve Your problem.
May be that adding the intermittent mode patch without the network
interface status check can help You. If You are interested, i will try this
in the weekend.

Let me to know about.

Microsoft VC++ 6.0. All the magic is in the Romeo's work on sources.
