[squid-users] Problems Accessing Certain Sites

Hi,

I'm having problems accessing a certain site, namely
partner.microsoft.com, when using Squid. If I bypass Squid I can access
the site. I had no problems accessing this site up until last Friday.
The initial login page loads, but I get a DNS error when trying to get
to the Partner Dashboard. I've reported the issue to Microsoft but am
still awaiting a reply. As it is quite a common site I thought I'd try
raising the issue here in case anyone else had had similar problems and
knew of a workaround/fix (other than bypassing Squid).

I'm running the following:

SUSE LINUX 10.1 (i586)

# squid -v
Squid Cache: Version 2.5.STABLE12
configure options: '--prefix=/usr' '--sysconfdir=/etc/squid'
'--bindir=/usr/sbin' '--sbindir=/usr/sbin' '--localstatedir=/var'
'--libexecdir=/usr/sbin' '--datadir=/usr/share/squid' '--with-dl'
'--enable-snmp' '--enable-carp' '--enable-useragent-log'
'--enable-auth=basic digest ntlm' '--enable-basic-auth-helpers=LDAP MSNT
NCSA PAM SMB YP getpwnam multi-domain-NTLM'
'--enable-ntlm-auth-helpers=SMB no_check'
'--enable-digest-auth-helpers=password'
'--enable-external-acl-helpers=ip_user ldap_group unix_group
wbinfo_group' '--enable-ntlm-fail-open' '--enable-referer-log'
'--enable-arp-acl' '--enable-htcp' '--enable-underscores'
'--enable-stacktraces' '--enable-delay-pools' '--enable-ssl'
'--enable-cache-digests' '--enable-storeio=aufs,ufs,diskd,null'
'--enable-linux-netfilter' '--enable-removal-policies=heap,lru'
'--with-samba-sources=/usr/include/samba' '--enable-x-accelerator-vary'
'CFLAGS=-O2 -march=i586 -mtune=i686 -fmessage-length=0 -Wall
-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -g -fPIE -DLDAP_DEPRECATED -fno-strict-aliasing'
'LDFLAGS=-pie'

We are using Basic authentication (ncsa_auth)

ECN is disabled on the machine running Squid.

Clients are using IE versions 6 and 7 on WinXP Pro

Thanks
