Much thanks for replies. I have blocked http_access to all except child squids to prevent exploitation. I'm still a tad confused to why this problem only happens when the master proxy is down for a short period. Maybe the negative hits were causing it to redirect to itself, and then requests were denied when the child squids expected the proxy to act as a proxy and not just an accelerator. An interesting 'gotcha' considering the setup has been running fine for about 8 months. Thanks again!
