I'm not entirely sure what you said here, but I tried to pursue the issue further based on this having to do something with the kernel and perhaps IPv6.

On the old squid2 server, running debian etch, we have linux 2.6.18-6-686. To make sure, I installed squid 2.7.STABLE9-2.1 on the squid3 server, changed the http_port, to be able to run both at the same time, and verified that we could indeed access www.usitc.gov from the same host running a 2.x version of squid.

After that I have tried both changing linux from 2.6.32-5-amd64 (from debian stable) to 2.6.38-bpo.2-amd64 (from squeeze-backports) as well as completely disable IPv6 on the host. We don't use IPv6 and have no IPv6 connections to the outside world, but the interfaces did, of course, have link-local addresses, however, disabling IPv6 did not make any difference to the state of not being able to access the site.

Is there any other information I could provide you with? To my knowlege, this is the only site we are having these problems with.
