RE: Unable to access support.microsoft.com

Scott,
	If you want to test this without modifying your proxy configuration you can uncheck the http 1.1 options on the Internet Explorer Options Advanced tab.  Also does it work through Firefox or another browser?  Firefox reports a content encoding error when accessing support.microsooft.com when this problem is present.  If these steps show that this is indeed the problem you probably need to discover why your other subnets are working, are they in fact bypassing the proxy?

Could be the other causes entirely. Thats just the most common one seen
with support.microsoft.com recently.
 - TCP-level stuff like windoss scaling, ECN, PMTU discovery come in
second place and produce similar errors.
 - configuration loops (302's) may have a similar effect.

The biggest clue is the exact content of the error page. A squid-generate
page you can at least track through the cache.log.
If it's one of the IE-generated ones then it's probably a low-level issue
with IE either handling the page info or connecting to squid.
