[squid-users] google misses with Squid - major problem

I am having a strange problem with Squid. I run 2.5STABLE{9|10} in
a couple servers for my clients. The boxes are all FreeBSD. Squid
is run in acceleration mode since the boxes do transparent proxying.

The boxes run at different locations. There are like 7 of them so far.

Variously, users on those networks have contacted me with reports that
they cannot access google (Google redirects us to google.co.ke coz we
are in Kenya).

The disturbing thing is that the boxes have worked before without any
problems, but after some time I have received these reports, from 4
sites! This is what shows in the access.log when this happens:

What could be the cause of this? Poisoned cache or what?
