The setup I currently have is that I am forwarding all my requests to a machine that runs Privoxy. This Privoxy has a live net connection 24/7. At midnight, the "direct" net connection goes out. This Privoxy is still up, though. When the direct net connection is down, squid takes nearly forever to forward requests to Privoxy. As in, 5 or 10 minutes. Once the page begins loading, though, the rest of the page loads practically instantly. The problem resolves itself when the direct net connection comes back alive in a couple of hours. I know this is not a Privoxy problem; Privoxy responds instantly all the time. What could be causing this? One of the strangest problems I've seen... -hackmiester
