We have been using squid for a number of years (since about 1999) at the East Granby, CT, USA school system. We use IE and have IE configured to point to squid at port 3128. Recently, the state (CT) started to provide a filtering system for optional use by school districts within the state. This filtering is performed by the Bess product at the state data center. When filtering is enabled, most web sites perform well. However, certain web sites (e.g. http://nces.ed.gov/nceskids) perform miserably. It takes about five minutes to load the page, whereas without filtering, the page loads almost instantaneously. Also, if I bypass squid for a PC, but pass through the filtering system, the page loads almost instantaneously. Can someone suggest an approach to debugging this problem?
