But they are not continuously and does not happen for the whole day like in a loop. Also I see the logs for just a few IPs out of all my clients. Are you sure that this message is related to squid transparency? That's because till date, I have not heard any problems regarding Yahoo messenger. Anyway, what is the setup of your transproxy?
I have a Mikrotik gateway router that connects our network to a 10mbps Internet connection. Our daily average is about 5mbps. The router uses DST-NAT to route all port 80 connections to a CentOS box running Squid. It works quite well except for this. I noticed one client IP in logs today that downloaded it 141 times over and over. That IP is tied to a single PC. In logs its just repeated, MISS_GET then REFRESH_GET_MISS, over and over. I saw another IP do a MISS_GET_HEAD then MISS_GET then done just as supposed too. Matt
