Ok, I just read through the thread, you didn't answered the last
question: what happen if you shutdown the squid service?.

As a matter of fact, I don't see even a way of making ssh use squid to
access. So, my best guest, according to what you say, is that the
squid machine has the IP addresses of the other services (IP address
conflict), try on the squid machine:

ifconfig -a

And evaluate that.

I have been using squid for around 10 years now, and even though I
have had some problems, I have always been able to work the around.
Recently (in the last 2 years), I have had no serious problems with
it. Maybe some applications that refuses to use the proxy: Windows
Live installer and some yahoo games, but in these cases, it is not
squid's fault.

I hope this helps,
